"My friends in hometown once told me something that I never forgotten. He said 'show me your friends and I will show you your future'. I carry this thought around with me, even to this day. So I say to you: choose your friends wisely , for they will shape your thoughts, habits and values – and the way you view the world – more than you could ever realize at this very moment.”
The Outcome Of Your Life Is Completely Dependent Upon Whom You Call Friend.
"He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be
destroyed."
Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV)
There are essentially two kinds of people in our lives - those who seek comfort in companionship, and those have an insatiable passion to change.
*Individuals who make us comfortable don't have the ability to spur us on.
• They don't cause us to change.
• They don't urge us to become better.
• They are content with mediocrity, stuck in their comfort zone, and truly never break free.
On the other hand, there are those who are assigned to our lives to help us change.
• They are usually the authorities God places over us.
• They exist in various arenas of life, including our employers, parents, and pastor.
• They are vital to our growth.
Although we may feel pressure from those assigned to our lives to help us change, we must stay connected to these people since this type of pressure is for our growth and development. It is a necessity for you to become what God desires. If we turn our backs on our authorities and become a companion of those who are disrespectful, the Word of God tells us we will suffer severe consequences. We must acknowledge the significance and importance of relationships! Those we call our "friends" determine the outcome of our lives. May your friends only be those who draw you closer to the will of God for your life, and may you do the same in their lives.
I hope that all of us have at least 2 people whom we can call friends in our lives =)
Live life to the fullest!!!
~Cheers~
