Do You Have a Friend Who Sharpens You?
“As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.”
Proverbs 27:17

Ponder This
True friends will put an edge on your life. They will make you a sharper person. Not all my friends do that for me, but my best friends do. Have you ever had a friend who loved you so much that he would even hurt you in order to help you?
Proverbs 27:6 says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” What truer words of love can be spoken than from the heart of a friend who is going to spend eternity with you? Even if those words hurt, they are words that will heal.
Practice This
Do you have a friend who sharpens you as iron? It will only take you a moment to send that friend an encouraging note or postcard. That’s more meaningful than a text or a post. Do it today.
