Proverbs 27:17,
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."
Think
"Show me your friends and I'll show you, your future." What do you want for your future? Do you want to be emotionally healthy, relationally connected, and spiritually growing? If you want these things, you need to intentionally choose people who will help you in those areas. Paper doesn't sharpen iron. Plastic doesn't sharpen iron. For iron to be sharpened, it has to come in contact with something similar. In order for your friends to sharpen you, they have to be people who want similar things in life. Having these kinds of people in our lives requires intentional, relational decisions. The local church is the best place for you to find people who will "sharpen" you. But just showing up to church isn't enough. You can set two pieces of iron side-by-side, but that doesn't make them sharper! No sharpening happens without focused, intentional, and regular contact. If you want to develop emotionally, relationally, and spiritually, develop the kind of relationships that will sharpen you, and be intentional about making contact regularly with those God has put around you.
