Doesn't sound like a very happy person, does it, especially if they are secretly wanting to do these things to their best friend. The word jealousy comes to mind, which can lead to the end of man kind. Didn't it lead to the end of Eden?
I have a confession to make - I am a gossip.
I won't even buy gossip magazines at the check-out stands anymore, and I used to buy them religiously, if you'll pardon the pun.
A certain someone in my family would gather at the Sunday dinner table with another, bursting with gossip about another certain someone in the family. Woops! Now I've gone and done it again!. But this is how I was brought up, believing that gossiping was an extension of Sunday services. But if you're on the receiving end of this gossip, it's very painful. More painful is being the one that's gossiping. I found myself doing that recently out of spite and jealousy, and it just led to a blackness in my heart that could only be purged by confessing it to you, my brothers and sisters. I ask for Jesus' forgiveness, and that he continues to change me and shape me into the person that he wants me to be. I pray that He continues to mold me until I take my last breath here on this earth and wake up rejoicing with all the saints proclaiming Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, Who Was, and Is and Is To Come.
Our God Is and awesome and forgiving God. Don't let gossip or jealousy or any other sin take over your life. God loves and provides for the sparrows, so how much more is He going to love and provide for you?
It can be so easy as an unhealthy person to use any excuse to continue to sin because you're having to deal with a certain level of pain that others just don't understand. But God has allowed this to happen to me for a reason, and I'm not about to blow it now. So get behind thee Satan. I am a precious daughter of the King and you hold no authority over myself, my husband, nor my children. A Christian should live as if Jesus died yesterday, rose today, and is coming back tomorrow. Our hope, our only hope, lies in him.
1 Corinthinthians 10:13 - No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
