I
know that it is easy to focus on writing about the same things over and over
again in maybe a different manner. My purpose here is to give encouragement for
everyone to discover and walking in their purpose. Also I continue planning to
write about places around the area I live in along with memories of growing up
and other things that are positive. It is good though to get off the subjects
as well.
This
weekend I am at conference or you may call a workshop at my church. It is
called Living Free. If it ever comes to where you live I recommend taking it.
Also involved in men’s ministry at my church as well; since it is too be
private I won’t get into any details however both Living Free and the men’s
ministry is looking at our minds where we have to decide to change it. We so
much allow things to get into our minds that clutter what we are doing and we
live as victims and we can’t live in victory along with doing our purpose
because we are focused on the wrong things.
So
now I come to the title of this post in enjoying good people. I believe
whatever our purpose is and what we can do it is important to be around and
enjoy good people too. If you are a Christian you know that none of us are
truly good except the change Christ has done in our lives. We are good because
he is good.
So
to say all that is that we need to spend time around people that are good for
us. Those who will encourage us and love us no matter what we have done or may
do. These people can make us feel the way we truly want to be and how God
designed us from the beginning.
It
is not that we can’t be around those that are not so good for us but we must
remember who we are in God. It is like if we are a recovering alcoholic we can’
spend time around other alcoholics unless they are trying to become clean like
we are.
There
are times we can’t avoid those that are not good for us. For example, at work
it is hard to avoid those who we would not spend time with outside of work. If
we are in a project with them we must work the project out however important
not to spend too much time with them unless it is to encourage them into
changing. We must know that not everyone wants to change either. It is easy
want to help change others but not easy to fulfill.
So
spend as much time as possible with those around you that can be considered
good people. Encourage them as they encourage you. Lift each other up in prayer
as well. Times get tough and it is easy to fall away. God bless and have a
wonderful weekend.
