Words of the Heart

I have noticed that in the small moments in a conversation, I have a really bad habit of bringing up something negative and masking it as a real concern. I suppose my intention is to just gauge what I'm thinking with that of another person, but nevertheless, I always seem to leave with a battered conscious.

I think this is a real shame! Instead of me seeking the quiet comfort of God I turn to gossip. Gossip, in it's truest sense, is failing to be truly humble and patient as I wait for God to calm my soul. Instead, I seek meager and sometimes sinful methods to lighten my heart from my "inner chatter".

I must make a strong attempt to hang to the comfort that comes only from God. I must realize that everything I say needs to benefit those around me spiritually. Ever pushing those God has put in my path to become more and more like Christ.
