Iron Sharpens Iron

Proverbs 27:17-- "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

So recently, I have realized how many people in my life are sharpening me, or making me grow. There are people in our life that dull our blade by discouraging us, or sharpen it by encouraging us.

I think being sharpened by someone, is having a conversation with them that makes you think and discover new things about the Bible and/or theology, or hanging out with fellow believers who challenge you and/or pray for you. I know there are more examples of it, but thats what I can come up with at the moment. :)

God has place a few people in my life more recently(you know who you are ;) who I get to converse about certain things that we are both trying to figure out. We also encourage each other in prayer and just wanting to know how each other are doing in our walk with Christ. It is so important to have accountability partners in your life! I know I have stressed this before, but its so true! I don't know if one can survive without people who they can talk to about real stuff.

Anyways, be encouraging to one another; sharpen each other! Love on each other with words and actions! Be honest and trustworthy toward each other! Challenge each other!
