“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another”
(Proverbs 27:17, NIV)
One of the many things I’ve learned is that God does not bring people into my life, so I can make them just like me. The creator wants us to be different.
We are reminded that we each are fearfully and wonderfully made. Each of us ARE unique, with different personalities, different strengths, different hobbies and different looks.
He’s made us all different so we can sharpen one another and cause each other to rise up higher in life.
If you’re going to be happy and enjoy your relationships, you’ve got to learn how to appreciate the differences and learn from the people in your life.
Focus on the positive things. Don’t end up allowing the little irritations to cause you to become resentful, judgemental or mean.
Are you perfect? Of course not. Nobody is perfect. But, if you’re going to grow, you’ve got to be willing to overlook some things.
Our assignment is not to fix people. Our “divine” assignment is to love people. Let’s sharpen one another so we can move forward in the good plan God has prepared.
Dhallings, IRON SHARPENS IRON –
Lets agree: You be you . . . and allow ME, TO BE .. . MEEE!!
