Be forgiving
It is always easier to gossip about someone who has done you wrong.
Instead we should go to the person who has done you wrong, to keep the damage contained to just both of you and work on a reconciliation.
I must ask God
to forgive my foolish and selfish ways
to give me courage to lovingly go to those who sinned against me
to help me to bring about a reconciliation
Matthew 18 : 15
If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
