Proverbs 27:17 ” Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”

I firmly believe that nothing in my life happens by chance…especially interactions with people. Every person God brings across my path I can either be changed for good by them, or I am God’s vessel who can help them to change more into the image of God. In this Proverb is the picture of two pieces of iron sharpening each other…a working together in co-operation as the “rough edges” are rubbed off. Thus, every interaction we have during the day can be a chance to encourage, advise, exhort, and comfort one another. I also believe in “Divine Appointments” where God brings two people together for a specific reason of mutual benefit and character building. These moments are very precious as we sharpen each other for our good and His glory.
