Friends...they are great to have. Friends make bad situations great. I know that I am bless with great friends in my life that are willing to do anything for me. Do you have friends like that? Do you have friends that encourage you spiritually? Do you have friends that are truly Godly? When we become new in Christ we start to question our "crew" our "people". I know that when I become born again I lost tons of friends. But one thing is true that if you choose the right people to have in your life you will always have someone there for you. Now what you are probably wondering is this, "Well I like my friends I want to impact them should I just leave them?" The answer to that would be no. Don't do that, just don't get involved with what they do that hinders your relationship with GOD. Pray for them a lot too. Don't just leave them to continue their unhappy life. Help them, ask them to go to church, and if they use to go to church encourage them to go. Friends are very important. Till you get married they are there for you always but even why you get married they will still be there.
Choosing Great Friends:
1.Pray...pray always
Nothing can happen if you don't pray. If you pray to GOD to bring you a friends then GOD will bring you a friend just be patient. Also if you are not sure about something just pray. If you listen to and for GOD then you will hear GOD.
2. Read HIS Word
HIS Word is clear on what is foolish and what is not. HE is also very clear about who HE wants you to hang around. Get into the Word and you will hear HIM better.
3. Focus on HIM.
When you put all your focus on GOD you can hear all that HE has for you more clearly.
