She had a way of discerning my friendships, those that built me up and the ones that tore me down. And Mom always let me know her thoughts on my companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Christ\u2019s followers, He calls us to love everyone. But we must understand that not everyone makes wise decisions. Loving them doesn\u2019t mean we must do what others do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living for the applause of nail-scarred hands will cause us to go against the world\u2019s ways. Putting Jesus first in our lives helps us discern the actions of those around us. People who put Christ first will produce the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t see Christ\u2019s fruit in someone\u2019s life, don\u2019t follow their path. Lovers of Jesus will help you become more like Him, not take you in the opposite direction. Choose wisely whose advice you seek, don\u2019t let people lead you astray.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord, forgive us when we follow the wrong people.
