February 7th
It’s a “Speak The Truth” Day.
LORD, HELP US TO BE DELIVERED FROM THE SIN OF GIVING AND RECEIVING GOSSIP. AMEN.
The Holy Spirit showed me a story that I need to share with you today.
Once upon a time, there was a Farmer’s wife who had spread a slanderous story about her pastor through the village, and soon the whole countryside had heard it. Sometime later the woman became sick and confessed that the story was untrue. After her recovery, she came to the pastor and craved his forgiveness. The pastor said, “Of course, I will gladly forgive you if you comply with a wish of mine.” “Gladly,” replied the woman. “Go home, kill a black hen, pluck the feathers, and put them in a basket and bring them here.”
In half an hour she was back. “Now,” said the pastor, “Go through the village and at each street corner scatter a few of these feathers, the remaining ones take to the top of the bell tower and scatter them to the winds, then return.” She did so. “Now go through the village and gather the feathers again, and see that not one is missing.”
The woman looked at the pastor in astonishment and said, “Why that is impossible! The wind has scattered them over the fields everywhere!”
“And so,” said he, “While I forgive you gladly, do not forget that you can never undo the damage your lying words have done.”
Beloved, you can never take back words, and you can’t give back a reputation. Only speak what you know for sure to be the truth. The tongue can kill like a gun. So the question is: “Do your lips have the safety on them or is it on lock and load ready to fire?
