One of the natural tendencies of man is to quickly draw up conclusions on an issue without necessarily hearing from the accused party.
This singular act has played a significant role in destroying marriages, friendships, relationship, and even promising business partnership. It erodes trust and create a hostile environment.
No matter what you are told and irrespective of who told you never be in a hurry to draw up conclusions. Be patient and calm until you have talked with the accused party. Everyone deserves a fair hearing. Losing your temper and drawing up conclusions can be a move you might live to regret.
Control your reactions, never allow your reactions control you. It is not every story you should believe. It is not every evidence you must act on. Potiphar's wife had solid evidence against Joseph, but he was innocent. Whenever you hear a negative report about someone rather than accepting it to be true, walk up to the person and listen to their side of the story. A picture might not tell the full story. One more time I repeat NEVER BE IN A HASTE TO ARRIVE AT A CONCLUSION!
Countless marriages are in a mess now because one party listened and acted on a third-party report without seeking a fair hearing.
Countless promising relationship have ended because one party acted on an empty rumour in the heat of anger.
Countless friendship has been destroyed because of rushing into conclusions on empty tales devoid of facts. Do not join those statistics.
Whenever you received a negative report about someone your first move should never be to react but rather to listen to the accused party & get the full story.
A rumour can be sponsored by jealousy.
An evidence can be doctored & fabricated.
A story can be twisted to favour a narrative.
You would never get the full picture unless the accused is given a fair hearing. Always be patient and remain calm.
And if you have anger or temper issues talk openly with the Holy Spirit and ask for his help. You would find out that he has been ever so ready and willing to help you.
