I am so blessed to have the family, related and church, and friends that I do. To live a life without a godly surrounding and influence would make life a lot harder. Being surrounded with Love gives you a peace knowing that people are there to pick you up when you fall down and put you back on the proper path. It is also an amazing feeling to have people who truly celebrate life's good times with you. In all of this wonderful LOVE, GOD is at the center of it all. I truly do not know how people go through life without having that support system let alone a life without the Love of a heavenly father.
Like the Nationwide Insurance commercial says "Life comes at your fast". When life happens and catches you off guard, having a solid foundation truly helps you react in a godly time and manner. But when the world comes at you fast and you give in, the love that surrounds you can bring you back to where you should be, surrounded by that love that keeps on flowing unconditionally. For that Love I am forever grateful.
So it is very true that who you surround yourself with will shape who you are and how you act and react to situations and God is the only true way to be saved for the worldly temptations and struggles.
Keep your head up and remember surround yourself in LOVE!!
Grace and Peace
Ben
