Seven signs of Undesirable Friend

This one is the warning sign for us.. remember that how we reach our destiny depend on the way we live..the way we live is influenced by the people we deal with every day..

I remember one sermon i heard says..
Show me your friend then i'll tell you what your future will be..
its so obvious that whoever stay close to you will determine our character and our future..
I'm not perfect as well..i took this message as a lesson for myself on the very first place and i'd like to share this to you as well...

Seven Signs of Undesirable Friend
1. An undesirable friend is immoral and has no regard for others. "I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner - not even to eat with such a person" (1 Corinthians 5:11)
2. An undesirable friend is changeable and unstable. "Do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin those two can bring?" (Proverbs 24:21-22)
3. An undesirable friend is frequently angry. "Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go, lest you learn his ways and set a snare for your soul." (Proverbs 22:24-25)
4. An undesirable friend gives ungodly counsel. "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungoldly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful." (Psalm 1:1)
5. An undesirable friend is a lawless unbeliever. " Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an ubeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6:14-15)
6. An undesirable friend friend is a fool. "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20)
7. An undesirable friend is irreverent toward God and His laws. "I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts." (Psalm 119:63)

If you have friends with such characteristics as these, ask God to send you new friends while you pray for the old ones to be transformed.
Remember that it takes a very long time and God's miracle to change people's character..

No wonder i lost my extra weight very fast without go on diet ..so good. Ethan already going to preschool near home. He's progressing fast on being independent. But still very slow on speaking properly but its okay..he still my beloved naughty little ethan. He likes to tease his brother his own way.But since i gave him time out several time after got his brother cry, now everytime Calvin cry near him, he suddenly run away of hide behind the couch or wall..afraid i might get angry eventhough its not his fault.. hahaha.. Now he has another trick, when i'm about to get mad he put his hand through my head and say *sayang mommy..sayang mommy* ...and it works.. sigh.. Calvin is another little on...

--Frenzzzhhhhip....

some people keep wondering what's the true meaning of friendship .. sometimes we are busy looking for beautiful and warm quotes or stories of real friendship and still when we get back to the real world..that definition seems so hard to believe.. for me is very simple.. friendship requires love..and love is about giving and giving is about making people you care happy.. and beyond them...is commitment.. yes.. friendship is commitment..that's why to people i consider my friend i always store my forgiveness for them in time of needs... people make mistakes..thats natural..coz we're just human being..so are you willing to understand your friend instead of hoping them to understand you?? ask yourself.. its fine even they turn to be so bad to you...its totally fine... if they ask for forgiveness..just forgive...if they break the friendship...you're still fine..because you are not making mistake but they do... so no need to be sad.. just BE HAPPY and keep the JOY...
