iron sharpens iron ♥

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17 ♥

To go through life and have even a handful of friends who sharpen you, 

means you are blessed

Friends come and go as the seasons of life change, but God knows who to raise up at just the right times when the iron of your life is dull and you're in need of sharpening...

A dear friend of mine recently made me a beautiful prayer shawl for Christmas, that i cherish... while realizing how much time and effort she put into each beautiful consistent stitch, i decided that that's what a friendship is like, it's intentionally taking the time to craft a relationship...one stitch at a time...with gentleness, goodness, mercy, loving kindness, tenderheartedness, graciousness and love

and in turn this should mirror my relationship with my Heavenly Father, i need to be intentional when it comes to building a relationship with Him...everyday, every hour, every step...without the hands of the blacksmith to run metal against metal, friendship is empty...
