More than what you thought they were?

We've been talking about friendship in youth the past couple weeks and what a real friend looks like. Since we were made God saw that it wasn't good for us to be alone. Adam was walking around paradise with all the work he could ever want, MOPING. So God chose to make a helper and friend for Adam. We were destined to make significant relationships from the beginning. The question is not whether you have friends, we all have some friends, but the question is are your friends good for you. Amanda bought me way too many of these chocolate turtles for valentines day. They are luscious little pieces of caramel with pecans in it, covered in chocolate. They are like biting into happiness, however they have around around 300 calories for a single one. They are good but not at all good for you. Some of your friends are like this. My challenge to you is to see whether or not your friend are the ones that hold you up or the ones that drag you to the bottom. God has great plans for everyone of us and part of his plan is to have us surround ourselves with those that would hold us to be the kind of people he wants us to be.
