Psalm 15:3
He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
nor 
taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

Ruth attended every church function held, and she never refused to pitch
in 
when there was work to do. She gave liberally of money, time, and talent.

There
was nothing she would not do for her church. Even so, she found that
others 
did not welcome here or invite her to join in their special functions.
One
day she complained to the people she was with that, "Too many people
think 
too highly of themselves, and they're jealous of me because I do so
much." 
She
began to list by name those whom she meant. Finally, one of her
associates 
stopped her and said, "The reason you're not more welcome is because you 
always
talk about others. You spend a lot of time doing good, then you undo it
by 
gossiping. We get tired of hearing you criticize everyone who doesn't do 
things
like you want them to."

We are all called to be Christian in thought, deed, and word. If the love
of 
God truly dwells in our hearts, then we should show it by the way we
treat
and talk about others. What we say matters a great deal, and God will
judge 
us on our words and feelings, as well as on our actions.

Prayer: Lord, help me to love with Your divine love. Keep me from judging

others, but never let me forget that to grow, I must continually judge 
myself.
Amen.
