Church this past week was about friends. I had just had
this talk with my kids. I always tell them to be careful who you hang with
because you'll soon turn into them. We begin to act like our friends. THEN at
church we were really focusing on this same subject. I had to blog about
it.
What kind of friend are you? True friends are an infinite
value in our lives! In Proverbs 18:24 it says "A man who has friends must himself BE
friendly!" To have GOOD friends, we must also BE a GOOD friend!
Proverbs 12:26 " The righteous should chose his friends
carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray."
Proverbs 6:16-19 reminds us that we should NOT
develop friendships with people that are:
1. Prideful.
2. Are Liars.
3. Hurt others with their actions or
words.
4. Plan wicked schemes
5. Look for trouble
6. Criticize and Slander others
7. Stir up strife and division between
others.
This is my absolute favorite saying to the kids.
THE TRUE TEST OF FRIENDSHIP IS...Am I a BETTER person
because of my friend? I have and have had some
awesome friends over the years and still making new ones every day. I
pray that I'll always be a friend that makes YOU want to be a better person
too.
Love you guys!
