Gossips of the World
People have the right to their opinion,
But not the right to gossip to others about another,
One, who gossips, is one who spreads rumors.
Rumors, idle talk about the private affairs of others, either true or untrue,
Because, they either take what another has said as truth
Or what they think within themselves as truth.
With or without knowing the truth
That resides in the one they gossip about,
For the purpose to either bring or cause dishonor to another,
Knowingly or unknowingly,
To prove a point that one holds as true within about another.
Ham the son of Noah
Lost the blessings,
And received a curse for all future generations,
His son Canaan and his children's children,
Because, Ham was the first gossip after the flood!
When he found his father Noah,
The first little old wine maker in the world,
Drunk from wine and uncovered,
Instead of covering his father Noah,
Protecting and honoring him,
And then going on with life,
He went out and had to tell others,
The entire known World then,
He told his brothers of his father's condition.
Thereby, knowingly dishonoring a man
That was covered by God’s Grace,
A man who was found
And would forever be looked upon as righteous
By God and covered by and in His Favor.
People have the right to their opinion,
But not the right to gossip to others about another,
Remember, the tongue, controlled by the heart within,
Can either bless or curse all generations that follow!
Lord, guide me and control my tongue to pray to bless and encourage all others,
