Be careful who your friends are


Corinthians 15:33 (KJV)
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Relationships are a powerful influence in a life. When a relationship is established you have been given access to the inner sanctums of a person’s heart to influence them. Because relationship is built on trust and trust opens the door of a person’s soul. They gain opportunity to steer your life in a particular direction. This is why Paul said that we should “not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” When a believer joins together with an unbeliever in an intimate relationship, they have given that person power to influence them. It’s one thing to have a work friend and/or acquaintances but these are relationships that we do not give access to our innermost being. There is a line drawn where a relationship crosses over into intimacy and now becomes a powerful force in our lives. 

Relationships come into being because of sharing common interests. The only way an on fire Christian and a lukewarm Christian can have intimacy is if one compromises. They must meet on common ground. It has been said and it is true that you can tell what a person is by who their friends are.

Ask yourself this question today: “who am I giving access to my heart to influence me?” Be careful of who you are intimate with because they have more power in your life than what you think.
