Use care with words&#8230;they give strong evidence of your character and what is in your heart.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew 7:17 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)<br \/>\n&#8220;In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So we have a choice. Be the accuser, the audience (listeners) for the accuser, or the one who stands for what is right. If we keep our hearts in line with God&#8217;s Word, then how can we be an accuser or the powerful listener?<\/p>\n<p>Facts, pure and simple, tell the truth. Not opinions. <\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself accused of something, always look inward first. It is time to do a heart check. Make sure there is no truth to the accusation. If there is, get it right. Immediately. Then, trust God. Matters of the heart belong to God and God alone. He will show you the path to take.<\/p>\n<p>And, as Forrest Gump would say, &#8220;That&#8217;s all I have to say about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use care with our words&#8230;they give strong evidence of your character and what is in your heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-notes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Accuser - Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/the-accuser\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Accuser - Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Use care with our words...they give strong evidence of your character and what is in your heart.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/the-accuser\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-05-23T15:32:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-02-24T14:23:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/LifeNotes_TheAccuser.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"350\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sandi Herron.
