NO point in trying to take temporary people on a permanent journey !

who are you surrounded by ?

in order to grow , you must be around people whose minds challenge you . people whose lives convict you to live at a higher level/standard .

being on one accord !

if we're running this race together , why is it that when i look back .. i see you ! what are you going to do when i STOP looking back ?

psalm 26:4 - 8

4 i do not sit with deceitful men , nor do i consort with hypocrites;
5 i abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked .

6 i wash my hands in innocence , and go about your altar , O Lord ;
7 proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds .

8 i love the house where you live O Lord , the place where your glory dwells .

psalm 25:17 - 21

17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish .

18 Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins .

19 See how my enemies have increased and how fiercely they hate me !

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame , for i take refuge in you .

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me , because my hope is in you .

growth *

"when i was a child , i spoke as a child , thought as a child , and reasoned as a child . but when i grew up , i put away childish things" - 1 Corinthians 13:11

personal growth will come after the desire to change ! (you must first desire to make changes)
