Today’s Blog: Who walks with you?

TODAY’S PROVERB: What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor person is better than a liar. Proverbs 19:22, TLV

Do you have friends that seem to share your a brain? I have two, which is a double-blessing. Today’s proverb speaks of a loyal friend with integrity as being a desirable thing. Whether rich or poor, having someone whom you can trust who knows you and you have history with, makes life all the more precious.

Who we surround ourselves with will either create an environment for growth, or place stumbling blocks that stunt our growth.

If we have people in our “inner circle” without integrity — someone who knows us and we have history with — we need to be wary. Who we have in that circle must be trustworthy and truthful.

Those closest to us should challenge us to be more of who our Heavenly Father created us to be. Not criticize and point out our every flaw.

How about us?

Are we loyal friends with integrity? Do we encourage loved ones to walk out their faith and gifts? Walk with them through the mountains and valleys? Learning how to be that type of friend or employee or spouse is a worthy goal — and pleasing to our Father.

May we be a loyal person with integrity, my friends.
