The devotional for Monday so fits the things we have been talking about.

The recommendation is to stretch, to seek out relationships which better you. Realize the ones which do not…. and move away from them. You can still be an acquaintance without being a close friend to one who damages you.

Seek and Pursue those people who bring light and uplift you. Maybe challenge you.

Look to do the same to those around you.
I have said this before….
Who, outside the walls of your home, are you seeking to influence, or investing in their life??
Kirk discussed this Sunday and it has been our push since we started…invest yourself in other people, they need it and you will receive from it.

If you are not..,
Could you be afraid of what they will see in you?
Could you be too busy…?
This can be a rationale for fear, insecurity or out-of-balance priorities.

I can tell you the pursuit of relationships has greatly influenced and impacted my life to the positive.

Some people wait on others to make the move toward them.
That probably is not the way you got involved with your wife.

Go for it.

I can assure you, some other guy needs what you have…and you will realize benefits from the stretch.
