There are powerful principles in the Scriptures. One of them states that the company you keep can help you or destroy you. Throughout the years, you will meet many people, and have many acquaintances, but very few friends. Always remember that many times, God places something you need in someone else. there are some answers that you can only get through quality relationships. This is one of the reasons why you must always value good relationships. True friends provide many wonderful things, such as: affirmation, enjoyment, fellowship, additional family, help when needed, wisdom, warmth, laughter, prayer, sympathy, empathy a shoulder to cry on, and many other amazing benefits. One is rich who has good friends. So value your true friends, but always make sure that you don’t open up to everyone right away, because most will not know how to value what you bring to the table. Ask God today to give you discernment to know who your true friends are, and who you should stay away from.
Proverbs 12:26 – The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
AMEN!!!
Amen!
Praise the Lord! Asking God what’s the purpose of each and every person who comes into our lives is vital! Thank you Apostle!
Very true Sister Celeste!
Hello Pastor Victor, You are absolutly right about what type of friends you have around you. I have a bad habit of opening up myself to a lot of people and sometimes I feel that I may be pushing people away. I sometimes feel that they do not want to hear about my problems so I am careful to not give out too much of my personal business. I use to hang out with people who were a bad influence on my life and found that I was constantly falling into sin. Once I stopped many of those sins stopped. I know that God puts people in our lives to get us back on track and I love this about the Lord. I have seen His hand throughout my entire life. God has answered many of my prayers and I know He will continue to answer according to His will.
calvery has been such a blessing to Artie and myself and I know that the Lord led us there !
Amen! Thank you for your candid words. you are right. People can help take you higher or take you down. I am also blessed to be a part of Calvary. Have a great weekend!
Amen
Amen!
