Verse of the Day:   Proverbs 13:20   

he who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.  

Choose wisely the people with whom you surround yourself, especially, your inner circle.  Whether we like it or not, we are influenced by those closest to us. If you are regularly surrounded, counseled or given advice by people who don’t know the Lord you will be subjected to the things of the world and when you surround yourself with fools, you’ll be inclined to do foolish things. The people you associate with have an impact on your life, your success and your relationship with God. There is a saying that goes like this, “Tell me with whom you associate and I will tell you who you are.” 

Fruit of the Spirit: Be determined to surround yourself with those who bring you Peace and Joy.  Gather with people who are Kind and Gentle. Make sure to spend time with people who inspire you, but most importantly, choose companions who Love the Lord.
