True friends, won't be jealous of your gifts. They won't try to talk you out of your dreams. It will be just the opposite. They'll help you polish your pearls, develop them, enhance them, and grow them.
If you stay around people who are jealous of you, who don't value your gifts nor appreciate what you have to offer, you will be casting your pearls among swine.
Your inner circle, those who are closest to you, should be people who celebrate who you are; people who are happy when you succeed. They should be people who believe the very best in you.
Remember, it's not the quantity of those in your inner circle that's important, it's the quality. Choose your inner circle wisely so you can be all God has called you to be.
"Do not throw your pearls before swine" (Matthew 7:6)
Your pearls are what God has given you to be a blessing to the world around you—your gifts, your talents, and your abilities.
Where are you casting your pearls?
