Dirty Laundry

You see it a lot now a days, being aired everywhere you look In many forms and many ways even you and I are in the book As the news anchors spin their story or even just friend to friend Jesus said in all of His Glory be careful of the message you send Do not slander your foe nor wish him evil upon his daily way For it isn't yours to know only your duty and obligation to pray Cut not one at the knees or even enter into the gossip mill room Infectious like disease most of those people are headed for doom Like a murderer and or a thief, gossipers too are high on the list They simply add to another's grief the sin being in how they twist They prolong another's plight in wanting to know every little detail Never choosing to do right as each reputation they seem to impale Of others never speak a negative word, but act as if they were there Put aside everything you heard and then do something that is rare Acting as if that person were you, as one day this may be the case Still not sure what to do... Remember the Day Jesus took your place “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good...” Luke 6:45
