Zip It Too!!
“Good Morning Lord!”
“Good Morning!”
“It sure is a beautiful day today. Such a peaceful and restful day. Thank you Lord.”
“Your Welcome!”
“Did you happen to read Kiwi Christian and Sparrow’s Blogs?”
“Yep, sure did!!”
“I thought it was pretty cool how Kiwi used the term Zip It and I so appreciated the thoughts that Sparrow shared. What they both shared spoke volumes to me today. It is really neat how you bring so many things together with those who are blogging.”
“It’s like your trying to get a certain message across!”
“You Think?”
“Boy, it really is important to learn to zip it, isn’t it? To watch the things that we say, the things that we pass on and what we say about others. It seems like it is so easy for us to repeat things without even thinking about it. You know, making statements such as, “Did you hear about so and so?” or “Oh, you ought to hear about this!” “Sounds like gossip doesn’t it?”
“Yep, it sure does!”
“That really bothers you doesn’t it?”
“Yes it does! I have seen so many of My children hurt by things that have been said or repeated by those who are called by My Name and it really grieves My Heart to see the wounds that have been inflicted on my children”
“So often my children don’t even take time to stop and think and wonder. They just repeat what they hear, rather than choosing to not repeat it, they whisper, they call, they e-mail and repeat things without a second thought of the damage that it might do!!”
“Lord!”
“Yes”
“Am I guilty too?”
“Yes”
“Oh Lord, I am so sorry. Please forgive me and help me to Zip It too. To put a guard on my lips, on my mouth, on my tongue. Help me to lift up my brothers and sisters. Help me to build them up and not tear them down. Help me to encourage, exhort and to lift up others so that they may reach their full potential. Help me to not be a repeater of tales or rumors.”
“Lord?”
“Yes!”
“Thank you for your forgiveness!!”
“Your welcome!!”
Till later,
Paul
