Unless we are talking with family members, or with the closest of friends, we always need to be cautious about how we respond to the words that are being spoken to us. We should not be drawn into the trap of unnecessarily mistrusting people or getting into a divisive situation or attitude. God teaches us, not only how to speak, but also how to listen.
