If It Looks Like A Snake……
Have you ever met someone and just got a bad feeling that something wasn’t quite right about them, and then later on you found out that the feeling you had was legit? You probably even said to yourself afterwards; I knew something wasn’t right! Usually, you found out after that person had done something terrible to you. But before in the back of your mind you wondered; Why don’t they have any other friends? Why do they play the victim all the time? Why isn’t anything ever their fault? Why do they always try to keep you laughing to keep your thoughts on other things? Why do they look at you with eyes that could cut steel? Why do they gossip so much? Perhaps even when you attempted to look them in their eyes, they turned away so that you couldn’t see the scabs covering them. This has happened to me several times, but I refuse to let it happen again. From now on when the Holy Spirit tells me that someone is not right, I will step. However,I will remain polite, and continue to pray for them, but I will not allow that person into my private life, because they are battling some dark spirits that I want no parts of. Light and dark can not mix *y'all. What I am talking about is not being judgmental, but using discernment, (looking at their fruit). Often times we brush off what the Holy Spirit is telling us because we don’t want to be labeled as judgmental. The next time the Holy Spirit tells me that I should take heed when someone approaches me that has ulterior motives, I will stop, look, and listen. I don't know about *y'all but a snake doesn’t have to bite me in order for me to know it is a snake.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y'all.

Great post!
I have confided in people mainly when they confide in me, but when I hear the same thing I told them from someone else it hurts and I wondered why that person felt the need to talk. I automatically forgave that person, but something told me that "Something Just Aint Right" with that person and I noticed that when I first met them...so I learned the hard way, but from them on instead of disclosing personal information to that person I would just speak in general...nothing specific. People can only know what you tell them!Keep personal details for your best friend or family:-)
Thanks Carla! Are you a European Citizen now? (LOL):) May GOD continue to bless you.
