It's Personal预览

Everyone knows what it’s like to have someone in your life who is a bad influence. They’re the people who are always egging us on to do things we know aren’t good for us—sometimes in harmless ways and sometimes in more serious situations. But what about the type of person who is equally as influential but for the better? Like positive peer pressure? Common wisdom tells us we are the average of the five people we spend the most time around and if that’s true, we want to make sure we are surrounding ourselves with people who are urging us to become the kind of people we want to be—people who see our potential and push us to reach it.

What would our lives look like if we surrounded ourselves with people who were encouraging us toward love and good deeds? Or take this from the other perspective. What would it look like to be the type of person who encourages others toward love and good deeds? This is one of the goals of living out our faith – to mutually encourage one another for the good.
