DRAMA!!!

How do you handle drama? What drama? You know the crazy junk in your life; when people are talking about you or someone is just treating you badly?!

So, how do you handle those things? Do you go off on the person talking about you? Do you put it on Facebook? What about talk about them behind their back? Have you ever thought that the Bible might have something to say about times like these?

Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Are you diffusing a situation or are you making it worse? Are you giving a gentle answer or a harsh word?

If the way you act and treat that person doesn't change the situation THEN Matthew 18 has some things to say to you!  It says,“If your brother or sister sins,go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector."

Basically, this means STOP gossiping and go to the person! STOP putting junk on Facebook and go directly to the person! STOP being mean and be gentle!

Just something to think and pray about throughout the day!
