Sharpening

There are lots of verses in the bible that speaks about friendship and the one I LOVE most is from Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Yesterday as I was driving, I turned and realized that a motorbike was very near to me. I swerved and gestured an apology cause I realized that in my tiredness, I did not check my blind spot.

In life, we have our "blind spots" too - areas in life that we are unable to comprehend, understand, fathom or realize. That's when friends can point it out to me so that I can "wake up". I truly believe that a true friend is one who dares to risk his/her friendship with me just so as to speak truth, biblical truth into my life. It's also in those moments that we sharpen each other, spur each other one, encourage one another and grow together in character and spiritually.
