When malicious gossip or slander is passed along, the humanity of three people is thereby diminished .... the one who repeats the gossip, the one who listens to the gossip, and the one who is the subject of the gossip. When a person refrains from gossiping or tale-bearing, the angels rejoice from up above.

This makes my all-time top five favorite list of your songs, Linds. So true too, how we all 'camouflage' our true selves when we are among others. God is the only One who truly knows the real us. Thank goodness, He is accepting and forgiving! And really, I have always found that our weaknesses and our insecurities are much more interesting than our strengths. Maybe I say that because I have so many of them. But it is really funny how quirky most of us really are. Love and God's blessing to you, my friend. Love your songs and the wisdom you share.
