Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

Proverbs 18:8
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go
down to the inmost parts.

We all have the choice to cut others down, or instead,
build ourselves and others up. While pushing others
down through gossip or the like may be tempting, it’s
only ourselves we are hurting. On the other hand, when
we make ourselves better, everyone benefits. Similarly,
when we bless others, we benefit from their blessings
as well.

The world will not become brighter by diminishing
someone else’s light. It’s only when we make our own
flame brighter or add light to someone else’s that the
world will become a brighter place for us all!
