Check Your Friends

“The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” We can’t befriend everybody. Yes you’re a loving person and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but, you have positioned yourself in line for abuse. Especially as a christian you can’t afford to allow frivolous, or platonic relationships that have no real value towards your purpose and what you’re called to do by Almighty God. Unreliable friends can lead to your ruin, especially if you trust them. We are all imperfect people having much to deal with in our everyday lives. Having so-called friends that lead you down the wrong path of where you’re supposed to be, is a serious diversion from the plan of God for your life. We must surround ourselves with people of like faith, and have a similar purpose. There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and that’s Jesus. He will never leave you or forsake you under any circumstances because He has no pressure from circumstances like us. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. Putting our trust in Him for the completion of our purpose and destiny is vital for victorious living.
