Iron Sharpens Iron

Iron sharpens iron. Proverbs 27:17(NLT)17 As iron sharpens iron,so a friend sharpens a friend. I have heard this a hundred times. I have experienced it many times as well. But nothing like I have the last few months at work. I work with a woman who is a fellow Christian. She and I share what God has been doing to us and through us, almost daily. Our stories are incredible and almost identical. It's like God is confirming we are right were we should be. Well this morning it dawned on me. Like it never has before. I realized that we talk all day at work about our faith in Jesus and how we are supposed to spread the Gospel around to other people. To show the love of Jesus outside our workplace. This morning I realized that we both had stories that had happened over the weekend and then over the last two days we have been sharing them with each other. Bam, Iron sharpening iron! We are building each other up, to go out into our little world and share the Gospel of Jesus. He fills us up, so we can go out and empty ourselves to someone else. Then come back and fill up again, and repeat. I love how God is using us, both at work and outside of work. I thank God everyday for having this friend at work to talk with and to sharpen each other.
