I just went to him as a little girl with curiosity and asked him to help me. I asked him to give me wisdom in these issues. And one of the issues that I struggled with was gossip. And again, I didn't have a bad intent, but it was this place of I love other people. I'm just caring about other people. I want to see how they're doing. Sometimes it's just to get to information. So it doesn't always come from a bad place. But when we actually really know what God's heart is for having a wholesome talk come out of our mouth, it can shift us to be able to start to engage with God and ask God to shift our heart as well.
