Can You Prove It?

We shouldn’t speak about things we don’t know about. We are on the outside looking in. We don’t know the ins and outs of a situation. We just go by what we think we know or something we may have heard. Unless you are the Lord, you don’t know everything.

People are quick to speak about somebody’s past. We all have one. But look at your own. Would you want people bringing up the things that you used to do? So, why bring up someone else’s? The person that you call a nobody can become somebody, right before your eyes. Be careful who you look down upon. We are all an ex-something. My ex-past is different from your ex-past. There is no severity level when it comes to the past.

Don’t always believe what you hear. There are so many different things out there you will hear about people. The list is endless. But you need to know for yourself. You shouldn’t assume, guess, or say that you know for a fact because if you did, it wouldn’t be an assumption or a guess. We’ll use sex for instance. Primary example. A girl sleeps with a guy on the first date. He tells his friends. They get the automatic impression that if it’s that easy for him, it makes it just as easy for them. While the men are talking about her behind her back, the girl is happy, thinking that she has found somebody. But she has made a name for herself, and people are talking about her based on one incident they heard about her. But the problem is, nobody even took time to get to know her. They went by what they “heard.”

You can also hear that someone was a terrible spouse, which can be true on either end. But….as the old folks say, what is in you is going to come out. If your marriage intentions are good, then that’s good. But if you are just doing it because you feel like you have to, (she’s pregnant), or you are told it’s the right thing to do, (you got tired of people saying living together is a sin), then don’t do it. If you really love that person, no matter how many years it takes, that is between the 2 of you. Its true that the Lord honors marriage but its not written in the Bible to make people get married because of a pregnancy or because they have been living together for so many years. If its in the Bible, I would like to know where.

Personal business is not a public service announcement. If you don’t want the world to know, be careful what you say and who you say it to. People will smile in your face and stab you in the back at the same time. When you think someone is your friend and they show you that they are not, that’s exactly how it feels. Pain from a knife that someone put in your back. In other words, that’s the extent of how bad it hurts.

Speaking about things you don’t know about damages peoples’ reputation. Being on the outside looking in is exactly where we are sometimes. We give our opinions as to what we would say or do. Truthfully, we do. We are on the outside. We don’t know the inside situation. We may see a person smiling all the time, laughing and just as happy as can be. But behind closed doors, they can be a prisoner of their own mind, meaning they think that no one cares about them. They may feel so alone and may not have any friends. You just never know.

To conclude I say this: The FBI does investigations. But just like the FBI, without evidence (proof), we don’t know the story (what actually happened).
