To find or to be?

A
man was in court for some crime he had committed. He explained to the
judge, “I think I just got in with the wrong crowd.”

The
judge replied, "Did it ever occur to you that you may be the
wrong crowd?”

It's
good thing to look for good friends. It's a Biblical principle to find
friends who'll be a good influence on you.

Proverbs
13:20 He
that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools
shall be destroyed.

1Corinthians
15:33
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

But
have you ever thought about whether you are a good
friend? Are you a good influence on others? If someone
is looking for a friend who will encourage them to live right and
walk with God, could they choose you?

You
may think that others aren't friendly to you, but are you
friendly to them?

The
same principle applies to finding a husband.

Do
you have a list of what you want your husband to be? Do you want him
to be kind, unselfish, hardworking, godly, etc. Well, if you found a
guy like that, would he want to marry you?

If
you are lazy, would a hardworking guy want to marry you?

If
you are selfish, would a kind unselfish guy want to marry you?

If
you don't love God yourself, why would a godly man be attracted to
you?

So
learn to be the kind of friend you want to have, and
learn to be the type of person you want your future
husband to be!
