Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Jesus created us for community because people have the power to make other people better.
Before I got married, my husband and I went through premarital counseling with a priest. One session was all about how our relationship impacts our personal growth. It made me realize how much he’s helped me glorify God and become more like Jesus. I’m more patient because of him. I’m more loving because of him. I’m more focused on ministry because of him.
God places people in your life to help shape you into the person He intended you to be. Be open with others. Let them in. God may be using them to help you grow.
Are you allowing the people God has surrounded you with to help shape you into the person He made you to be?
