When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends. – Japanese Proverb
Yes Jesus interacted with the sinners he came to save, but he chose as ‘friends’ men who would lay down their life for others as he did. WOW!
It is often said family has to accept us, but friends have a choice. And that choice tells a lot about us. Nobody gives a greater account of who we are and what we profess than the friends we spend our time with. No matter what we say, we normally fellowship and let our guard down around those we are most comfortable with, for in most instances they are like us, i.e. the same interests, beliefs, moral character, etc. In the circle of friends we have the question we must ask ourselves is: What does it say of our character and relationship to God? Oftentimes many of us think we’re the picture of perfect spiritual health to the world, but our ‘friends’ may say otherwise.
Until tomorrow…..
