“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”
Proverbs 27:17 NLT
I tend to have this effect on my friends. I am sandpaper. I challenge. Not one for a nice easy life I go for truth, faith, God!! These attributes can make for few friends, however, I cannot bear compromise or darkness. However, love must motivate me, love for them and who God has called them to be.
My friends will thank me when they stand before the Lord. Are you such a friend? Do you aim at minimal conflict or integritous righteousness? We have been given the free gift of eternal life and been made right with our Heavenly Father. We need to live as His children rather than friends of darkness. Remembering that true love confronts who we settle to be rather than who we are made to be.
Be God’s servant, not the servant of darkness! Amen!
