You ever meet someone that is the anti-you? That happened to me recently, and now my heart feels down and I feel very depressed. We were at the same place, and there was no avoiding conversation. Ugh. I can't stop feeling negative things right now like: anger, annoyance, guilt, sadness, shame, depression, grief...
I found some Bible verses that I wish the anti-me would read, but since I don't think that the anti-me knows that he/she has a problem, I will read them and just pray. And hey, while I am at it, I will share them with anyone who reads my journal-type blog:
PSA 34:13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
101:5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.
PRO 11:9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.
16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.
18:8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.
20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
MAT 12:36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
EPH 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
1PE 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
3:10 For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
