He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.  Proverbs 17.27

If you are seeking for problems, than trust in those who speak too much, who give their opinion on everything and who like to show the flaws of others. Certainly, they will lead you to embarrassing situations. The gossipers are everywhere, and also in the work of God. They act like envoys of the demon. It is not good to pay attention to what these type of people talk, because only things that hurt come out from their mouth. 

However, if you wish to live well, keep your friendships and count on a friend that will help you in times of needs, then you must find them in those that know how to withhold their words, even if they are provoked. Not always do we need someone who agrees with us, but we need a brother in Christ who is capable of advising us in the Word. Since they know the Truth, their words are few, but they are the right ones.

This works in the material and in the spiritual life. If you have besides you a person who likes to see the flaws in other people, in no time, no one will be good enough to be your friend or your spouse. Thus, the days will go by and when you realize, you will be too old and unwilling to fulfill the divine commandment of leaving father and mother behind and finding your spouse. It is necessary to see who your friends are in order to cross out those who don’t withhold their words. 

The knowledge of God turns those who have it into a person of great value, because, when there is an evil oppression in the community, they will not stand beside those who apparently are right, but they will give ear to the counsel that comes from God in order to terminate the strife. Those who always see errors in other people forget to look at themselves in the Eternal Mirror – the Word of God – and see that they are worse than the others. 

The person who has a precious spirit knows how to preserve friends and make others, for they hold the understanding of the Truth. They are peaceful, sweet and friendly, and if there is some unfounded suspicion over someone, with a touch of knowledge, they are able to put out that “fire”, which, of course, is to harm someone. This is the type of people society needs, for, since there is an enemy who wants to hurt everyone, they act to do only good.

The fact is that everyone should learn how to act as servants of God. Then, we would be surrounded by good people. Why does someone talk about what they don’t know and express such negative opinions? Well, while the man sowed the seed, the evil one came at night and sowed tares (Matthew 13: 24-30). Most assuredly, the fields of the world are contaminated by this type of plantation. The Bible says that our word must be seasoned with salt (Col 4:6). 

Examine yourself and see if you haven’t been used as a gossiper or something worse. Could it be that only some people are capable of finding good friends, good employees or a good spouse? Now, one of the virtues the Lord gives freely is knowledge (James 1:5); therefore, ask Him for this, and He will give it to you. Be a heavenly spokesperson.

In Christ, with love,

Lord of the Truth! Standing before You, we ask for Your help so that we don’t act differently from Your will. So then, help us to do what pleases You and may we accomplish Your desire. 

We need understanding for us to have a precious spirit. We don’t want a behavior that is contrary to Your purpose, one that harms any person. May we hold back our words and speak only according to Your Word. 

Then, we will bring solution to the problems; deliver all those involved in suffering. Don’t let us fall in embarrassing situations or make people suffer. Father! We wish to love You in such a way that we make You happy. Amen!
