Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." Proverbs 13:20.
How many of you have spent a season filled with one challenge after another? You live your life pleasing to God...or... do you live your life pleasing to man? You see, the outcome will be very different! Do you guard the people that you allow close to you? I know that it's hard to believe, but, not all people that call themselves Christians have your best interest at heart. It's up to you to protect your personal space. This has always been a hard lesson for me to learn. Mostly because God teaches us that we are to love like He loves. But you see, God lives in a perfect Heaven and we live in a fallen world. A world full of jealously, mistrust, deceit, anger. If you spend a lot of time around someone that embodies any of these characteristics, you will be left with scars on your heart time and again. Choose your friends carefully.
