Intrigued by this sign when I was walking along a housing estate in Beijing:
花儿也在成长，请勿扔垃圾哦 (the flowers are growing too, please do not litter).
We too are work in progress. It is important to have supportive friends who are genuine as they encourage us in our journey of life. Through the ups and downs, they stand by us.
Negative friends, on the other hand, will stump our growth or derail us from the purpose God has called us to be.
“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” —Proverbs 27:17
As we walk with God daily, may we too, be an encourager and stand by our friends as they step into God’s destiny for them.
