MIDWEEK MEDITATION

As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another.

 Proverbs 27:17

You were wired for relationships. 

In His wisdom, God designed all of humanity to flourish in the context of community. A life lived in isolation, physical or virtual, doesn’t match the design. 

True friends will help you be at your best and support you when things are at their worst. They are involved in your life and are willing to speak truth in the context of love even when it is hard or inconvenient. In short, true friends are a rare gift from God. 

Do you have friends like that in your life? Do you walk with the wise? It takes time to develop and courage to be honest with what is going on in your life. It’s worth it. 

Take a few moments to meditate on this: Are there friends in my life who see me for who I really am and encourage me to live wisely?
