KEEP IT TO YOUR SELF, SOMETIMES OTHERS LIVES DOES NOT NEED TO BE EXPLAINED OR REARRANGED, CRITISIZED OR SCRUTNIZED.
Matthew 7:1-2 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
You know, most of the time, that which we think we know, and think should be told to and about others, could be kept to ourselves or between yourself and the fence post, and to be sure it stays there, go to the LORD. God should be the One to run to when you are experiencing a season, of some sort or another, in your life. Because all of our help comes from Him. He made us so He automatically knows what we need when we need it. When we acknowledge and call on Him, He is our keeper, the shade (goodness, grace, and mercy) that covers us from the sun (evil) that would destroy us at any time in our life. But most time, to experience the physical (face to face) aspect of it we will seek out a family member, friend, or professional to try and help walk through it with you. This is perfectly okay, but the meat of the situation or circumstance does not need to be told to nor entertained by others. Because if it consists of an extra opportunity, a learning situation or test, for revelations to be seen by us and God’s proving to be done in us, only God can bring you through it with the right result for its intentions. (Psalm 121:1-8 1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore).
But because we think we are experts in and on every subject, we feel the need to share our opinions and solutions. Stop it! It is not necessarily advantageous to you or the person, (who has placed you in their confidence) for you to place them under your looking glass and explain why they should or should not do what their decision has brought them to do. Mind your own business. There is a difference between giving your opinion on something, then dropping it, versus continuing on with your version of how it should play out then getting upset and angry when your suggestions are not entertained nor followed. (Proverbs 18:2 A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover).
IF EVERYONE WOULD TAKE THE TIME TO CLEAN UP THEIR OWN SPACE; THE WORLD WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL: HOME, WORK, GROCERY STORE, HAIR SALON/BARBER SHOP, DOCTORS’S OFFICE, ETC., EVERYWHERE YOU GO AND OCCUPY SPACE, IS YOUR RESPONSIBIITY TO CLEAN IT UP, AND MAINTAIN IT WITH GODS HELP AND THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY; EVENTUALLY THOSE MOMENTS OF RESPONSIBILITY (MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS) WILL WORK A GOOD WORK IN THE WORLD.
This is a sketchy one and its implication of righteousness (everyone, these days, think they are experts in all subjects, therefore have the right to express their opinion about any and all things, whether asked for or not) is running rampant today among all of us, causing conflict and confusion. We tell too much of what should be kept between the ones whom it affects. We should not share with the world anything that is not of its concern but work it out among the affected parties. All of us need to consider this. Unless you are helping to make a positive change through being an encouraging and inspiring force, in the lives of your brothers and sisters, you need to stop trying to run every one else’s life, through the spread of gossip, and your “good intentions”, and revisit yourself. Stop interfering where interference is not needed nor wanting or feel that you must be the bearer of good or bad news unless instructed to do so by God; listen with righteous ears and you will hear His instruction. So, to be sure it is not gossiping or talebearing and that you are minding your own business, check to see whether or not it is the Path of Truth, (consisting of LOVE and all the fruit of the Spirit entails) chosen for you by YHWH, God, so that you may be a righteous informant, of the word to and about your brother/sister. Or is it the path of your own design. If it is of your own design, go back to where you first became aware of your destined future with Christ. Listen to hear what He put in your heart, ask to understand its direction and purpose, then receive it in your heart; accepting the answer. And instead of ruining the lives of others and friendships, with the same we will gain a soul for God, through Christ our Lord and Saviour. (Proverbs 11:13 “He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy conceals a matter.” Proverbs. 17:9 “He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.” Proverbs 20:19 “He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, therefore do not associate with a gossip.” Proverbs 25:9-10 – “…don’t reveal the secret of another, lest he who hears it reproach you, and the evil report about you not pass away.” Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
