Don't believe everything you hear.

"My dear friends, don't believe everything you hear.  Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you..." 1 John 4:1 MSG

Consider the source of whom you are speaking with, as what they are telling you about somebody else, is similar to what they told somebody else about you.

The Lion - The Root

“See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root (Source) of David, has won (has overcome and conquered)!...” Revelation 5:5

Jesus is the Lion and the Root (Source).  He has overcome and conquered all the forces of darkness and death, and He did this by dying on the cross – He did this for me and you.  So, praise God in all His might, in all His glory, and let darkness and death mean nothing to you.  Yes, because Jesus paid the price for us all, you need not to waste your precious time, energy, and emotion on death and darkness – they need not be of any worry to you anymore.
