you know, when we are being surrounded by godly people, we tend to be more 'godly'. when we're surrounded with positive people, we tend to be more positive. it's the whole influence thing. whoever you spend more time with, you'll be like them more.
however we are called to 'invest' in people, and obviously invest in those who are more to the negative side than the positive side.
how then do we invest in others without ourselves falling astray, without giving into the ways of the world, when we are suppose to invest in those astrayed, following the ways of the world-people?
how do we stay strong and stand our ground and continue pleasing God when others are doing all kinds of undesirable things before God?
how do you influence them without getting yourself influenced and shaken by the easy-way-out, ways of the world?
how do you be the stronger character?
i've often viewed investing into people as being in a spiritual war zone. it's dangerous, we are fighting against the unseen. but God is on our side.
In You we trust.
