GOOD women can be irascible tarts. The snide remarks, manipulative pot stirring, gossipy tendencies, snarkiness, and sometimes just downright meanness can drive the good influences away.
We all go through seasons of negativity, usually relative to WHO we’re surrounding ourselves with – and possibly that we’re not going to church or digging deep with some prayer or good reading. But, a season doesn’t have to become a way of life.
If your thoughts are negative, your words will be, too. Get control of your thoughts. If your circle delights in talking about other people, and you find yourself participating – find a new circle. Stop reacting in a way that makes you less than who God wants you to be… because only you are responsible for what comes out of your mouth.
“When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.” Proverbs 31:26
