I’ve been grappling with a concept that I’m reading about.  Have you ever heard of “opportunity stewardship”?  It’s new to me, but the meaning is something I feel God injected into my system some time ago.

Who is around you?  Your circle...who is it?  Your friends...who are they?

The people who surround you have such a powerful impact on the “now” and the “later” of your life.  Today I was thinking about different historical figures who seemed to have been surrounded by others who shared their passion and zeal.  Guys like John Wesley were surrounded by other men who were as driven as he was driven.  I know this seems like an incredibly simple and perhaps elementary thought, but it reveals my heart:  I want to be surrounded by people who love God with a passion that supersedes everything (yes, I mean “everything”).
