Proverbs 18:8 Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one's heart.
My Thoughts
Matthew 15:18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart. Have you every thought of a rumor as a part of your heart? I really never have... I know rumors can be dangerous... and hurtful...but I never thought of them as part of my heart. But rumors come from our mouths...not even our actions... just from our mouth. And Matthew tells us that what comes our of our mouth comes from our heart. Do we really want God to see us as dangerous or hurtful. Rumors can destroy lives... or destroy someones day. Do you want your heart to be seen as a heart that likes destruction...that doesn't care about others? I don't!... Yet I have repeated rumors before... I am not sure why... maybe to be a person "in the know". Who knows why repeat rumors yet, we do it all the time. Now that I know, and get that rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into my heart...which means that they will come out of my mouth....I will walk away! If hearing a rumor changes my heart I need to make the choice not to listen to rumors. To change my heart I have to chance what I place in my heart. Rumors don't need to take up space where love can grow instead.
