Warning! Deadly Vipers: Avoiding Dangerous Friendships

DAY 7 OF 10

All relationships that matter to us require sacrifice.  There will be times in every relationship when you or your friend has to make a sacrifice for the good of that friendship.  The problem that sometimes happens is there are times when people get stubborn and become unwilling to sacrifice for the good of the relationship.  This sacrifice could include something as little as what game you play to something as big as giving up something for that friend.  The bottom line is that relationships take work and take thinking about the other person.  It’s so important to take some time to reflect on how you are in this area with your friendships.  Are you the type of friend who is willing to sacrifice for your friends?  If not what do you need to change in order to be willing to sacrifice for the friendship. 

 Challenge: This week we challenge you to allow your friends to make the decisions of what you do and be the person who is willing to make sacrifices this week.  Take time this week to practice laying down your opinions and thoughts to allow your friend to take the lead.
