Words on The Scale✍ ⚖️

I’ve come to realize something profound: A good lawyer can be celebrated; a skilled speaker can be paid… But a wonderful gossip has never received an award or a paycheck. Wisdom demands silence when the urge comes to advertise the weaknesses, failures, and misfortunes of others. Let’s be honest: gossip is free broadcasting without sponsorship! You become a self-appointed newscaster of other people’s pain, and nobody is paying for that airtime. Think about it: Has gossiping ever increased your net worth? Has it ever earned you respect or peace of mind? Have you ever seen a job vacancy titled “Professional Gossip Wanted” ? Of course not. Because to bring someone down, you must first stoop low yourself. Gossip destroys friendships, scatters churches, ruins businesses, and tears families apart. It’s a virus of wrong thinking a product of idle minds that refuse to think creatively. Proverbs 11:13 says, “ A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit concea...

I once read about a young woman who gave her whole life to God. She grew up modest, kept herself pure, and waited until marriage to have children. She did everything right everything she was taught to do. But her story didn’t end the way she hoped. Her husband cheated on her, beat her, and infected her with HIV. Can you imagine? After all that faith, all that patience, all that obedience life still broke her heart. Then there was a man who spent his years caring for orphans, feeding the hungry and giving everything he had to others. He was selfless. Kind. Devoted. But cancer took him and it didn’t even give him time to fight back. He too did everything right… yet life turned its back on him. And there are so many stories like these. People who pray, who love deeply, who live right yet still end up in pain. That’s why we should never be quick to judge anyone. We don’t know their battles, their heartbreaks, or the paths they’ve had to walk. Some are judged for getting di...

  Before an airplane dives into the sky, it must first run on the ground for a while. That brief moment on the runway isn’t a delay it’s a preparation. The aircraft needs that time to gather speed, build momentum, and find balance before taking off. Without it, there would be no flight at all. In life, the same principle applies. Many of us want success, love, or stability to happen instantly. We often forget that growth takes time, and real progress rarely happens overnight. Some people don’t have the patience to stay through the “runway phase” those early moments of struggle, uncertainty, or slow progress. But here’s the truth: those moments matter . They shape us, strengthen us, and prepare us for the altitude we dream of reaching. When you’re in a relationship, patience and support are everything. If your partner is still building, still trying, or still finding their way keep helping them until they reach their sky. Believe in their journey even when it’s not glamorou...

  The truth is everybody is going to hurt you at some point. No matter how much love, loyalty, or effort you give, people are human, and humans make mistakes. They’ll disappoint you, misunderstand you, and sometimes even break your heart. Your best friend might forget to show up when you need them most. A partner you trusted might say something that cuts deep. A family member might not understand your dreams, and their words might sting more than they realize. But that’s not the point of life or love. The real question is: who is worth suffering for? Because some people come into your life and leave behind scars, while others leave behind lessons. Some take from you and walk away, leaving you emptier than before. But a few, a precious few will stay. Even after the arguments, the distance, and the silence… they’ll come back. They’ll own their flaws. They’ll apologize, not because they have to, but because they care enough to try again. They’ll remind you that love isn’t perfe...
