Bible verses about backstabbing
Being stabbed in the back by a family member or a friend especially a close one is not a good feeling. In all the backstabbings, slander, and trials you go through in life know it is very meaningful.
Even though no one should ever gossip about anyone, find out if the things that are being said about you are true. There are times when we are being wrongly accused of things for no reason, but in some cases maybe the things that are being said are true and we must examine ourselves. Use this situation to grow in Christ and glorify God.
If you keep on thinking about it you will build bitterness and malice in your heart. Seek peace through prayer and pour your heart out to the Lord. Just talk to Him and keep your mind on Him to keep your mind at peace. God will not forsake His faithful ones. Don’t take matters into your own hands. No matter how hard it may seem you must forgive and try to seek reconciliation. Continue to be a good example to others by the way you live. Trust in the Lord with all your heart because He loves you and He will help you.
