If someone passed you a glass of water and they said someone had urinated in it, would you drink it? I am probably right in saying that you would not. Why? No one in his or her right mind would drink something that had been obviously contaminated.
Did you know that when we talk bad about other people to other people; we are actually urinating on that person's character? Sometimes unknowingly, but many times intentionally, the jabs we throw at people are design to contaminate people’s personalities so that others will not drink from their cup. We are urinating in the water.
Scripture calls these individuals wicked and worthless people (Proverbs 6:12-19). They constantly sow discord among people. These individuals are constantly negative and complaining. When you allow someone to bring you mess, you become the toilet used to urinate on someone else’s character.
We can never know all the reasons why people do such, but the scripture give us the root of some of this behavior. Psalms 109:3 says this behavior stem from hatred. Matthew 15:19 say it’s because of an evil heart. Whatever the case, its an evil work (Psalms 52:2) and foolish (Prov 10:18).
Today, decide to be the bigger person. After all, if they are quick to urinate on someone else’s character, it won’t be long before they are spraying the walls of your personality.
Love and Peace
