Gossip Girl

Proverbs 11:13

“A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.”

Why is it that we find it so hard to keep other people’s secrets? Is it because we feel cool knowing someone’s juicy secret, so we share it to show how cool we are? Is it because we feel honoured that someone would trust us, and we want others to share in that honour? Whatever it is, the bible calls it gossip. Personally, I don’t want to be known as a gossip girl. I want to be trustworthy, and treat other people’s secrets the way I’d like them to treat my own.
