Do you have someone in your life or work place that is constantly negative or feels comfortable coming to you to "vent" or in other words Gossip. You find yourself associated with those people and equally guilty? It is a tearable feeling to be caught up in gossip.
I believe God knows your struggles and wants to pull you out of the mess you find yourself in from time to time. Today I was reading I found exactly what I needed to hear and just the encouragement to do what is right.
Some are always running off at the mouth seemingly not caring what results therefrom, even if it adversely affects close friends. Such persons you have learned to shun; you even feel contaminated by association with them, fearing that their inconsiderate conduct might rub off on you. Yes, you know that bad association spoils useful habits, that evil communication corrupts good manners, that bad company ruins good morals. So be careful in the choice of friends. Why not choose friends who have resolved:
"Through Jesus let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to his name". -Hebrews 13:15
