Mismatched Friends

Mismatched Friends

 




As much as people refuse to believe it, the company we keep does have an impact and influence on our choices.  We can be “unequally yoked” with the people we call “friends”.  Mismatched friendships can be bad company that corrupts good character.  The Bible reveals to us that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, that we are to stay away from people who cause divisions and offenses and to withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly.

 

This is not to say you are better than the next person it’s saying you have the presence of God in your life.  Your journey is spiritual and having the wrong people in your circle of influence can hinder the plans God has for you in your life.  You may be open to growing and maturing, and they resist growth and their tendencies might hold you back when you start a journey that’s different than their own.  So, at some point, you might have to ask yourself what fellowship can light have with darkness?  

 

A final thought, he who makes himself a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

  You may not be for everybody, but everybody isn't for you either.  Everybody ain't your partner, but you can be the baddest, greatest, most outstanding individual you can be.  Learn from the beauty of the butterfly and think about all the cycles it had to go through to achieve its beauty.  Life lessons are the best dress rehearsals. Keep your head up, your prayer life strong and remember the best life under the sun is the one you live doing what makes you glow.   It's called I am looooovvvvvve.   დ A touch of love from, Aurora L.

Be Cautious About Who You Help: Some Cook Up Lies

Image
Helping others comes from a place of goodwill and compassion, but it's crucial to be discerning about who you choose to help. While many people seek help for genuine reasons, some will exploit your kindness for their own gain. These individuals may twist the truth, misrepresent the facts, and attempt to steal credit for things they didn’t do all to aggrandize themselves.  Sometimes trying to help others comes with a high price tag. What makes this betrayal so damaging isn’t just the immediate harm caused by their actions, but the ripple effect they create. When some cook up lies, taking credit for your endeavors and distorting the truth, they pull others into their web of lies. People may quickly take sides, rushing to judgment based on half-truths and misconceptions, convinced by a false narrative that paints you as the villain. These manipulative behaviors can fracture relationships in ways that are nearly impossible to repair. Once others are entangled in the lie, trust is broke
