Everyone of us has friends. We have people of like minds which we freely move together with. Most especially, in our youthful days, we have peers.
The influence of our peers in our lives cannot be over-emphasized. Many of us are in the career that we are because of our peers. We chose that because our peers chose the same. In many ways our lives have been influenced by our peers.
Many people have had wrong choices because of their peers. Many people took the wrong actions just because their peers made them do. We should be wise when following our peers. A lot of people have regrets today because all their lives they wasted following their peers in the wrong direction.
We should also know that peers have helped their friends to achieve meaningful life. Some people succeeded in their professions because of the help of their peers. Good friendship, the Bible says that is better than a brother. So, having friends is not bad. Some friendships have actually brought something good.
Bro Eli Soriano called our attention to the fact that friends may come and go, but that we will always need God. Let us build a more stronger relationship with God.
