Best Friends

Henry Ford once said, "My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." A simple statement in appearance, but it has a gravitas that illuminates a life well-lived. My beautiful bride is my best earthly friend and she makes me a better man. Jesus Christ is my best friend of all, and He has the power to make me better. Some days that is clear other days it might seem I wander aimlessly. (A reminder to focus on the Creator and not the created!)

Who do you surround yourself with daily and how do they affect your faith walk? Its been said we are only as good as the company we keep. Which leads to another Ford quote, this coming from a Chevy driver. Ford also said, "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." Jesus said we are more than victors, does your life demonstrate victory and heavenly success? If not, could it be the company you keep? To truly follow Christ is to follow Him, and in doing that we are walking in a group which is our faith family. The church is called to bring out the best in each other, which is cyclical--we know that is Christ....
