Beware of those who would tell you what others are saying about you. It is not one of good character who would deliberately relay a message from others about you, that they know will only upset you.
Remember that if they will be so unkind as to created hurt and anger in you with this information, then they are likely to lie outright about what really happened. After all, isn't their aim to cause strife and division, making themselves the hero in your eyes, for disclosing a secret or confidence.
I have never met a person of integrity who goes to someone and shares something mean said about them. Anyone who will do this, is probably lying, perhaps distorting truth to make it seem bad or wrong when the comments might have been completely innocent.
A person who lacks integrity will change the story to make it something that it was not, using embellishing language, for no other purpose except to destroy relationships, even making them look like the hero for disclosing information.
2 Timothy 3:13 "But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."
Psalm 109:2-4 "For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer."
Jeremiah 9:3 "They bend their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, declares the Lord."
Romans 16:17-18 "I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve."
Get away from such people as the Scripture says, they work to destroy relationships even lying against God.
