Prov 16:28 (ESV) A dishonest man spreads strife, & a whisperer separates close friends. Eph 4:29 (ESV) Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for BUILDING up, as fits the occasion, that it may give GRACE to those who hear. Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, & to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 1 Peter 3:16 Having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. —It can be difficult & hurtful when someone speaks poorly of us, but it is important to remember that our ultimate identity & worth are not determined by what others think or say about us. Instead, let’s find our identity & worth from what God says about us. —Rom 8:17 (NIV) Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God & co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. Hallelujah!! 🙏
