Who we allow in our inner circle does not only affect the way we do things, see things, and think about things; but it also affects our now, and our future. We must be so careful who we allow to shape our reasoning, the Bible is clear that as iron sharpens iron, so too one man sharpens the countenance of his friend to show rage or worthy purpose.
If we however invite Jesus into our inner circle, lean on His counsel and friendship, we do not only grow in Godly wisdom, but we also have full access to God’s unmerited Favour and Grace.
“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good–not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.” – Matthew 11:28-30 (AMPC)
I do not know about you, but I do not mind being defined by the continuous Presence of God as my company.
God’s richest Love and Blessings to you all!
