Philippians 2:12-18

when i read this, i got the feeling of being rebuked but in a gentle, subtle way. i felt as if Paul and Timothy were right by my ear, talking to me. orr..maybe it's just my guilty conscience. lots of times, when some of us get together to chill and hang out and just to talk, the conversation lot of times turns into complaints and whines about this and that. i always was aware that i tend to complain a lot, and whenever or even looking back, there was always a little voice nudging me to stop or walk away from the group. but of course that's never easy. as servants of God, we are his instruments in doing his good purpose. we shouldn't ever bad mouth those around us, but there are just some people who whenever i enter a conversation with, that's all that's said- gossip. gossip gossip and more gossip. i'm at fault too, no doubt. i could just walk away, but easier said than done. we are to "shine like stars in the universe as [we] hold out the word of life"..i think im losing my luster. or shine. or whatever the technical term is for the shining properties of stars.
