Gossip–its a basic human sin. We talk about someone behind their backs, criticize and demean. If only we spent some of the time we spent putting people down praising them. Today think of someone you’ve put down in your own head or in the presence of others. Then write that person and tell them how you see their lives working toward the good of God’s kingdom. Don’t tell the person that you’ve put them down, but honestly appreciate their goodness.
