Birds of the same feather flock together

Isn't that very true? We influence one another, whether we like it or not, whether we are conscious of it or not, whether we are even aware of it, we influence one another as we spend time and interact with one another.

The more time you hang out with someone, you will realise either of these 2 things:

1) You are really similar and hence you hang out more

2) You realise your differences and if two of you are unable to compromise, you just dun hang out so much anymore

And isn't the reverse true as well?

Have you ever had really best friends in pri or sec sch, but overtime, because of the lack of frequency of meeting and the lack of effort being planted in the frenship, the both of you just drift further day by day. 

Isn't it the same with God?

I want to be in the same flock of people who love God, and so, I start reading their blogs, start interacting with them more, and start talking about the love of God in our lives. If you just hang around negative people, you become more negative over time. But if you hang ard positive people, one day, you realise you've become more positive and even joyful as well. 

The point is, I've been reading Pastor Perry Noble's blog, and here are a few things I would like to share with you, all ripped from his blog..I hope you will be blessed as I have been :)

Pastor Perry Noble's insights:

#1 - There is not a formula for growing a church

#2 - I should spend less time focusing on being "right" and more time focusing on being faithful

#3 - Those who you think will always be with you won't always be with you

#4 - I don't always have the best ideas

#5 - God loves His church WAY more than I do 

#6 - People will always misunderstand you..don't waste a lot of time trying to explain yourself.

#7 - Excellence cannot be compromised just because you don't want to hurt someone else's feelings

Bonus - The fights, the sleepless nights, the critics, the spiritual warfare, the long meetings, the frustration..IT'S ALL WORTH IT! When lives get changed..it's worth it. When hell becomes less crowded..it's worth it. When repentance takes place..it's worth it! When marriages are restored..it's worth it. IT IS SO WORTH everything we go through! SO..don't EVER give up! Ever!!
