January 22 - Relationships

Our views of success, morality, and integrity can become compromised when we entertain the viewpoints of the world. We profess to be Christians, but live with a different perspective. Caught in a lie, the unaccepted becomes the acceptable. Sometimes our friends discover we are lying well before we realize it ourselves. They've seen us as we are, not as we want to be, and the good friend will point out our shortcomings in a loving way. Daily time with God is essential in fortifying us against the temptations of the world. Relationships developed through Christ's love strengthen our accountability toward one another and help us all walk a life of Truth.

 

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. – 1 John 3:7
