Day 1

There are those relationships in our lives that accelerate our growth and activate the plans and purposes of GOD in our lives..
Things that may have ordinarily taken you so many years to accomplish take far less because of the exponential (growing very quickly) power of these divine relationships – recognize and cherish them..
Sweet friendships refresh the soul and awaken our hearts with joy, for good friends are like the anointing oil that yields the fragrant incense of God’s presence..
Good friendships are worth more than gold and can help us to endure with faith through difficult trials..
However, friendships not bonded in faith for God can corrupt our hearts more than we know..
Friendships can be as beneficial in our life as much as they can be destructive to our virtues..
Therefore we must live with discernment and honesty regarding who we are friends with and time spent with others..
We are called by God and His Holy Word to be loving to one another and treat others with kindness and humility.. But this does not mean a necessity to spend time with those who would be a corrupting influence upon us..
We can be honest in our rebuke of their actions while loving them as ourselves..
“Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.”….”(Proverbs 27:9)
