Enjoying Good People


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.
