Choosing Wisely!

Greetings! 2Corinth 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? Something my Dad used to tell me and I really never understood it until I got into Recovery was,"People look at you and perceive you,by the people you hang around with!" And he was so right! For most of my life I hung around losers. People just like me, who's main goal in life was to get drunk and high and see how much trouble we could get into. Needless to say there were people who were uncomfortable around me,let along doing something like inviting me in their house or doing something like inviting me in their house. And it wasn't that I was a bad person, but I was when I got around certain people I hung around with.That is why when I got clean I had to make a decision.Was I going to keep hanging with the losers or start hanging with the winners.It wasn't till I started seeing that I could no longer hang with the people of my past,that Recovery was clear to me.Paul tells us in Rom 12:2 that we should be transformed by a renewing of the mind.And when the renewing takes place we no longer want to be the way we used to be. So then how can we still want anything to do with old,people,places and things that are associated with our old selves.Today I no longer want to hang with the losers.I want to hang with the people who know Jesus! Because in Him we are all winners.And we can all pray for those who don't know Him.That one day they will find that Transforming Grace that will bring them from the old to the New! HABD!
