Ask Yourself This...

How can i make those around me better?

It doesn't take a genius to know that you will become like those you hang out with. Mainly, I'm talking about friends and co-workers. Most of us have friends who we consider funny or entertaining, but could do without the crude language, sexual comments, racists jokes, etc. So, why are you friends with them? If it's your intent to provide Light to them and you are actively working towards that end every time you are with them, then good for you, keep up the good work. But, otherwise, I'd suggest you move on. Find friends who encourage you in Godly things. Friends you can talk to about things that really matter. Don't allow them to hinder you as you pursue a life worthy of the price that has been paid.

Likewise, be that kind of a friend to those in your circle of influence. Be the one who asks about kids, marriage, life. Be the one who talks about virtues and how you see God at work. Be the friend that encourages and uplifts. No doubt if you can make those around you better, you will be better.

May God flow through you this week and may you bless those around you.
