A good friend text me this last night:
"Bro, This girl text me a few times today to come over to her place tonight.
I know where it'll lead........She wants to hookup. I'm just lonely & thinking I might."
He's a recent Christian & wants a great Godly wife & kids one day.
Maybe he's looking for validation or for me to say some FOLLOW YOUR HEART BS....... instead, I Called him.
He picks up:
"Hey bro, I'm gonna say 2 quick things,
1) Would this action lead you closer or further away from the man you want to be? You've been down this path how many times now? Do you feel better or worse each time after?
2) Someday you'll stand before God & give an account for the decision you make tonight. The Bible clearly says we will all give an account for our life. Do you FEAR GOD?
You have free will my man, it's 100% up to you. Love ya.
Got a text a few hours later.
He took a hike with his dog, read the Bible, & worked on his side business.
Being a good friend, is NOT AFFIRMING BAD CHOICES.
It is speaking hard truths. Challenging a brother when he wants to stray.
I have so many men in my life that speak hard truths to me. I hope you have a circle like that too.
IRON SHARPENS IRON. ❤️🙏
