Proverbs 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much.
There are many warnings about mixing with the wrong people in our bibles, but there are many instructions about not ignoring people too.
It is a fine balance between loving and supporting those people who are in need and hanging out with those who talk the talk but don’t do what they say.
We need to be careful with what is said out loud because we do not always think about just who is listening and how our words will affect them.
Be kind with your words and keep them in check!
