Friends Who Sharpen Us
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend (Proverbs 27:17).
Nothing steals ones joy and destiny like choosing the wrong friends. Do not hang around people with soar attitude like, jealousy, getting into trouble, envy, hate and rebelling against the system. You need to find Friends that are determined to make something out of their lives. Hang around people who are focused, disciplined, and are going places. Don't be concerned about fitting into the right crowd, being the most popular, or having the most Friends. Always remember that, it's not the quantity of our friends that matters; but the quality of our relationships that really counts. It's better to have one(1) friend that has his/her head on straight, who is going places, than ten(10) or more who are just floating 🤔 downstream doing what everybody else is doing.
Just as the scripture says it here 👆 in Proverbs 27:17, "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." Our friends should be sharpening us. Some of us today, want our lives to go in a different direction from our circle friends. They are probably good people, who have blessed us and we have blessed them. But now, God is trying to increase you, and those friends are holding you back. They were in our lives for a season, but you know that there's a greater purpose for your life ✨️. Sometimes if you're going to to continue to rise, you have to break out of the rut of old relationships and begin to cultivate some new friends that will sharpen you, hepl you, and encourage you to be all that God intends for you to be.
