Best Friends


There’s so much I can say about my best friends, I love them to death, I’m so blessed to have them in my life, and I thank God over and over for being able to know them. You have to be careful though when having close friends. The bible talks about this subject too, Psalms 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” I wanted friends who would encourage me to follow God’s will for my life and not to follow the crowd. When I was about 13 or 14 I started to see how important it was to have friends that would help me seek God. So, I started asking God to give me godly friends that would help me and encourage me on my walk with Him. He started showing me girls around me that I got to know and he put new people in my life that really helped. 

God has given me friends that give me wise council when I need it, pray for me, pray with me, and help me grow in Christ. He’s put young adults, adults in my life that have seriously influenced my walk with God. Looking back to when I was 12, 13, and 14, I know that God put certain people in my life to help direct my path towards Christ. Not to mention my parents who have been a big influence in my walk with God. My daddy led me to the Lord when I was 6. I’m so thankful that my daddy loves Christ with all his heart and loved us enough to want to see us become children of God also.
Anyway, choose your friends wisely, I’m not saying be cold to people who wouldn’t be the best choice of a close friend, but seek friends who will point you towards Christ and not away.
