“Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” – Proverbs 13:20
The people we surround ourselves with have a profound impact on who we become. Like a mirror reflecting our values and aspirations, our inner circle shapes our character, influences our decisions, and affects our spiritual journey. This isn’t about being exclusive or judgmental; it’s about being intentional with our close relationships. Some connections may need to be limited or redefined if they consistently pull us away from our values and goals. Others need to be cultivated and strengthened because they encourage our growth and faith journey.
Reflection
Looking at your closest relationships, how are they influencing your values, decisions, and spiritual growth?
Quote
Your values will be the reflection of your inner circle.
Prayer
Lord, grant me discernment in my relationships. Help me cultivate friendships that draw me closer to You and give me courage to address relationships that don’t align with Your purposes for my life. Amen.
