DEVOTIONAL: Romans 1:13-15
“Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles. I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise. So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.”
Romans 1:13-15 NKJV

We represent Christ to the world. How do you know how to represent someone if you don’t spend time with them? It is very important dear friend that we spend time with the one in which we say we live for.

The people around us matter. Who are you spending time with? Are those you surround yourself with helping you become more like Christ? Are they loving you? Are they calling you to live for Christ no matter the cost?

Friend may we today surround ourself with people who see who God has called us to be.

“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad. The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.”

We shall choose our friends wisely! Those we are surrounded by we start becoming like. It is important to understand this. It’s a choice. Spend time with Jesus He will change your life. You get to choose who you surround yourself with. Not saying you can’t love or spend time with someone who isn’t a believer but those you spend the most time with really truly matter! You got this!
