Start Time: 6:19 AM

End Time: 6:43 AM

Title: Be A Friend Today

Scriptures: Proverbs 27:17

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus!  Proverbs 27:17 says...

17 As one piece of iron sharpens another, so friends keep each other sharp.

A friend does not only listens, cares, or supports but a friend also sharpens another - i believe, this means, bringing out the best of one another.  Some friends are very supportive to a point that he/she is willing to walk with the other towards a foolish path.  But God tells us that friends do not just support, friends also sharpens one another.  When we talk about sharpening that goes through an uncomfortable process.  A pencil when sharens will have to go through the blade, cut its skin off to be molded into a useful pencil.  A friend at times will have to become the sharpener of another's life.  We will need to become the blade and cut the anger, hatred, jealousy, pride, etc out of our friend and bring out the best version of him/her self.  At times, we become the pencil and we find ourselves going through an uncomfortable process where our friend sharpens us.  And when this happens, don't forget to thank and appreciate your friend.

Happy Saturday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful message about friendship.  Help me to become a good friend to someone.  Give me wisdom to influence and help in shaping another's life at its best.  Help me to learn how to become a true friend to someone.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
