Proverbs 26:22
The words of a talebearer are as wounds,
and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
Getting on the phone or going out to lunch and telling another woman the play by play account of your life is a common practice for women. This is not to be with the woman of God. She does not tell the stories of conversations and relationships to another. She handles her relationships with care and keeps confidences and conversations in the appropriate boundaries. She doesn’t tell another what someone else said and did unless the Lord is leading her to in order to breed unity and admiration. Her conversations are rooted in the Lord and what He is doing with the person and relationship at hand. If she repeats something she risks hurting the person across from her without her even knowing it. It is best to avoid bringing other names and situations into a current conversation. Love the person in front of you and enjoy the moment. This will decrease the likelihood of injury and pain.
