Isn't it interesting how you probably just thought about sex!?

We live in a society where many different people do many different things. Most of us are very different and unique from each other. Therefore, we have different strengths, talents and abilities. Some people are good at repairing cars. Some may be good at home repairs. While others may be great encourager's. Maybe some are the perfect person to hang out with because they get discounts everywhere.

We are all unique! God made us unique intentionally. No accidents for God!

What friend are you being a friend to because of the benefit they offer you?

If they could no longer offer that benefit, no matter what it is. Would you still pursue their friendship? Throw the auto yes aside and think about this one.

People, including you, don't want to be used. We all want to be loved. Make a list of your friends, list the benefits they offer you, then be intentional and thank them for that benefit and their friendship.

What benefit are you offering your friends?

Read back over the past few chapters of your life. What kind of benefit are you offering your friends? Are you an encourager? Do you have a certain skill you share? Once you determine your benefit. Give it generously and freely! (If it is your livelihood, use discernment).

If you don't want to give your benefit. You should cut yourself off from using your friends.
