the message
"Stay calm; mind your own business; do your own job. You've heard all this from us before, but a reminder never hurts. We want you living in a way that will command the respect of outsiders, not lying around sponging off your friends."
In most situations, the Bible makes is quite clear how to live. It is concise and explicit in regards to how we should treat others and how we should love our Lord. Sometimes it may express in vague metaphorical terms, but for the most part we are told what to do and how to do it well. Lately I have been pondering gossip, and assumptions about other people's lives and getting caught up (in the negative sense) in other people's lives. And this is what I think: don't do it. Be cool. Be super nice to people and mind your own business. Nothing positive comes from meddling in other people's lives and talking about people behind their backs and making assumptions about peoples lives, behavior, finances, relationships and motives.
When you imitate Jesus and how He walked the earth, you will command the respect of others- people will be drawn to you and you will be full of light and peace as you walk this earth.
