Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise. (Proverbs 27:17-21)
We stand stronger together. And reap the rewards our labors. Wise words about our habits, character and friendships. We can either help each other when we walk and work together, or we can tear others down and use people to satisfy our own selfish desires. GOD knows our hearts, and he knows our weaknesses as well. But His desire is that we live, speak and think as He does. When we encourage, challenge and equip each other and hold each other accountable to GOD's Word, then we all grow in the knowledge of Him.
But you can only do this if you know Him. Until you are born again by the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for you on the Cross of Calvary then all your righteousness, all your human effort, all your thoughts and desires are filthy rags, wasted time and only evil continuously. If that disturbs you, then consider why. GOD said it. He means it. And He cannot let sIn into His presence. Like a good and honest Judge, He has to judge and condemn the guilty for their transgression. He has already done that, but has given us all a measure of Grace in that we have time, and an opportunity to trust in Jesus Christ in our place.
I pray that you will take advantage of His mercy and receive Him today, and if you are one of His, tell someone of His love and mercy today.
In Christ,
