“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.” - ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ ‭(NLT)‬

CALLING ALL DULL MEN

Iron truly sharpens iron. A dull iron tool needs the correct sharpening device to maintain its edge—dull swords are not sharpened with rubber. Similarly, men also become dull without the right sharpener. We need sharp friends to help maintain our edge, to encourage and inspire us to become all that God has called us to be. We also need them to lovingly confront us when our choices are unwise or fail to reflect godly character. It takes great friends to sharpen us and help us grow into the best version of ourselves.
