"Meaningful relationships require being wise when you choose whom to spend time with."
Relationships are important. But what is more important is making sure our relationships are positive and impacting us in a positive way.
When I ponder the different relationships in my life I know that there are some that don't always have a positive influence on me. Some are more work than others and I don't always feel like I'm getting anything from them. Then there are those that I couldn't live without. Most of them are ones I couldn't live without and these relationships are so important to me!
It is important to analyze the different relationships in our lives to weed out the ones that aren't doing us any good. It is just as important to make sure that we, ourselves, aren't being a negative influence on anyone as well. If you realize that this is the case, make sure you do something to change it.
Recently I've been in situations where I find myself being so negative. I know that this stems from frustration and I know that I need to work on this and change it. I find myself causing others to join in on the negativity just because I brought it up. I need to stop...I need to change. I'm working on that!
I know that I can't change on my own and I know that God will help! He knows which relationships I need to "weed out" and He also knows which ones I need to be more positive in!
