If your claim has no truth to it, you will experience public disgrace. Using caution when divulging information helps us avoid embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jumping to conclusions about the actions of our neighbors causes trouble. As in all things, our limited perspective doesn\u2019t give us the entire story. When a neighbor forgot to close his garage door while on vacation, I feared something had happened. Making up negative narratives doesn\u2019t take much effort. Often, we overlook the obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using caution when talking about others helps us keep our foot out of our mouths. As in all things, if you don\u2019t know the whole story, don\u2019t tell it. Search for truth, speak only uplifting and encouraging words, and don\u2019t spread rumors about your neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t know what goes on behind closed doors. Unless you\u2019ve walked in someone else\u2019s shoes, please don\u2019t make assumptions about them. Only God knows the whole story; we should look to Him for guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for making up stories. Please help us stay focused on You and the truth You reveal. Don\u2019t let us fall into the temptation to jump to conclusions. Please give us the wisdom we need to make good decisions. IJNIP.
