Rumors are started by those that want to draw attention away from their own darkness. Jealousy & their own misery will make people talk. If you weren’t there & didn’t see it, take what you hear with a grain of salt & don’t repeat it.
I could tell someone that I saw so & so talking to so & so at a quick stop & by the time it is told to 10 people…the rumor is I saw them robbing the quick stop & having sex in the get away car.
Rumors are ridiculous & can destroy lives. If you are not talking good about someone, don’t talk about them at all.
James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
James 4:11-12 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against his brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law & judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver & judge, he who is able to save & to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Have a rumor free weekend my friends!!!
Sadly, there will be those that want hurt you & destroy your reputation. It could be out of jealousy, bitterness, hatred, or whatever reason. For lack of a better word, it sucks. But not everybody will be on your side or a true friend. Not much you can do about it except avoid people like this & not let them get to you. There are a lot of people that like to spread rumors. My guess it is to make themselves feel better about their crappy lives. You can bet that if a person is talking crap about others to you, they are most likely talking crap to others about you as well. If you don’t know facts, keep your mouth shut. It will come back to bite you.
