Who Are You Hanging With?
Who do you hang around? The people you hang around can make or break you.
As a teenager, I used to hang around some questionable friends. They
used to smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and do drugs. One tried to
commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. Although my friends
did these things, I didn't.
I had drifted away from God during this time. I dated a guy who wasn't
saved. I knew better, but because I had already been compromising my
beliefs, it became easier to bend to the world's way of thinking.
It took me a total of eleven years to come back to God. It didn't have
to be that difficult. I could have come back to God at any time, but I
didn't want to lose my friends.
Many times in life, we have to give up the bad things in our lives.
The friends who put us down. The friends who mooch off us. The
friends who tolerate us instead of celebrate us.
When we do, God can put the right people in our lives. The ones who
will encourage us and inspire us to go to new levels in God.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? Do you believe Jesus
died to pay the price for your sin? That He was raised from the dead?
Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins. Come into
my heart and be my Lord and Saviour." If you believed in your heart
and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again. Let us know if you
prayed this prayer.
