Sharpened by CommunityProverbs 27:17
No. 161As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.Proverbs 27:17
Sharpening requires friction. If you only spend time with people who agree with you, affirm you, and never challenge you — you'll stay dull. Real community includes people who ask hard questions, call you higher, and love you enough to say what you need to hear.
Reflect
Who in your life sharpens you? Who do you sharpen? Is that relationship active right now?
Prayer
Lord, give me relationships that make me better. And make me the kind of friend who sharpens others with grace and truth. Amen.
