REACH!

REACH!

Beloved congregation,

Today, I want to emphasize the importance of the company you keep. It's been said that you become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. This means that the people you surround yourself with have a significant impact on your life, your mindset, and your destiny.

If you associate with people of vision, with those who inspire and motivate you to reach your dreams, you'll find yourself on a path of growth and fulfillment. Visionary individuals see possibilities where others see obstacles. They dream big and encourage you to do the same.

Surrounding yourself with such individuals can ignite your own passion and drive. Their energy is contagious, and their unwavering belief in their dreams can awaken the same belief within you. They challenge you to aim higher, to set bigger goals, and to pursue them with determination.

On the other hand, if you choose to associate with those who are negative, complacent, or constantly dwelling on their problems, you risk adopting their mindset and limiting your potential. Your environment can either nourish your dreams or stifle them.

The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 13:20: "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." This ancient wisdom holds true today. Seek out companions who inspire you to be your best self, who challenge you to grow, and who believe in your God-given potential.

As you choose your circle of influence, remember that your dreams are precious, and you must protect them. Surround yourself with people who not only support your dreams but also push you to pursue them relentlessly. Together, you can encourage one another on this journey toward a future filled with purpose and achievement.

So, I urge you today to be intentional about the company you keep. Seek out people of vision, those who inspire and motivate you to reach your dreams. As you do, you'll find that your own dreams are nurtured and your potential is unleashed.

 Amen.
