Day 143 of 365

Friends Who Sharpen You

“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

Proverbs 27:17 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Iron sharpening iron is not a comfortable process. It involves friction, heat, and sparks. The friendships that make you better are not always the ones that make you feel good. Sometimes the friend who tells you the hard truth is the one who loves you most.

Try This Today

Think of one person in your life who makes you a better person, someone who speaks truth even when it is uncomfortable. Reach out and thank them for it specifically.
