RELATIONSHIP

There are
various types of relationships that we can enter into. Each type offers the
participant a different result. Often men do not take enough time to consider
which relationship system to enter into.

Life Application:
We need to
consider which of the above systems are best for where we are in our journey. It
is also important to consider the people we are meeting with. Do they love the
Lord? Will they be available, accountable, vulnerable and teachable?
Will they keep my secrets--no matter what?
Prov. 27:17 As
iron sharpens iron, so one mans sharpens another.
