Friends

Sharing Post:

"Staying close to godly friends helps us to stay close to God. :)"

Who are your friends? Are they people who love and respect God? People who will help bring you closer to God? Or are they people who hate and disrespect God? People who use His Holy Name in vain? People who do not take heed to His Word and live according to the ways of this world? Friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). Friendship with the world will take you AWAY from God rather than you getting closer to God by your constant fellowship (with those who choose to corrupt themselves).

Ask God to bring His people, His children into your life. Those will be the people that Love God beyond all things! They will be the friends that encourage you to get stronger into God and have awesome fellowship. They will be the friends that God approves of--for they are after His own heart. Thus you will be influenced to be after His own heart and not men/women's heart. You will be influenced to be focused on God and not distracted. By having a true relationship with God is actually the only way anybody will ever be a good witness and example to the world, that the lost souls may be saved.

We are the ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20)! And so as He walked we must walk (1 John 2:6, 1 John 4:17)!

Word of advice, from the Holy Bible: "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul." Proverbs 22:24-25.
