A slip of the tongue, A quick instant
A momentary lapse of judgment
...and irreversible chaos ensues.
I talked who then talked who then talked and talked and talked
until lies multiplied cut, hurt and shamed.
gossip is a dangerous thing
easy to be ensnared, hard to get out of
with painful consequences
I was found out yet I did not apologize
Secretly I thought it would go away, like it all eventually does.
Tension built up, relationships broken and still i did not apologize
All for the pride.
Deep inside I felt like I failed God
I was not a light, instead I worked to spread evil.
How could i call myself Christian?
The attitude is the key.
A Christian is not full of pride, but rather he humbles himself and sincerely apologizes when he does wrong.
He is not self righteous, he knows he is not perfect.
HE strives to be perfect everyday to be a reflection of God's goodness and love.
So i swallowed my pride and apologized with humility.
If i did not i would not be a Christ follower i would have tainted the name of God.
but most of all I would not have loved.
I would rather uphold my pride than release someone of the chance to stop hating.
