“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17 NKJV
Take a moment and jot down the names of your top three friends.
Some questions to ask about your friends:
1. Why have I chosen them as my friend(s)?
What is it that draws us together?
What element(s) do we have most in common?
Why do I really “like” them?
2. How do they sharpen me?
Do they sharpen my walk with Christ?
Do they sharpen my spiritual senses?
Do they evoke fleshly responses from me?
3. What effect do I have upon them?
Are they better having known you?
Can you tell if they walk closer to Christ than when you met?
Do your conversations reflect the grace of God?
