Who are you rolling with?

 Hey!
So this was written by Abby (by now, you should be familiar with this awesome young woman) and I for one, quite enjoyed this one. 
May this make you think,

 “OMG, look, he’s looking at me!” “Ahhhhh he texted me!” “He smiling at me! How can this be happening?!?” You know that feeling, when your crush or just a really cute guy smiles at you from across the room or texts you or, *squeels*, actually talks to you. All of the sudden your world turns upside down and your heart’s beating so fast you feel like your chest is going to explode and you can’t breathe and you just want to faint from happiness. And then things start progressing, and he asks you out, and you’re ready to die from happiness. Then you guys start dating and you feel like you’re floating. You’re on a cloud nine and you never want to come down. And that’s great. That’s human to want to be loved and have those relationships and all that stuff. But before you enter into a relationship, think about the person you’re getting into a relationship with. Are they sweet, loyal, dependable, honest, trustworthy, and all those other traits you need in the person you’re dating? Do they really care about you? And of course, the most important, are they a Christian? I think the Lecrae quote I put at the beginning sums it up perfectly. If they aren’t “rolling with Christ,” or walking with God, then don’t get involved with them. You may think, “Oh I can change them. I can convert them.” Um, no you can’t. It’s more likely that they’ll change you and lead you away from the Lord, not the other way around. Second Corinthians 6:14 says, “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteous and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” The Bible clearly tells us not to be close friends with, or date, unbelievers. God doesn’t want our minds to be poisoned by the evil of the world, and unbelievers are clearly of the world. God wants us to be set apart, His precious children. This doesn’t mean we should hate or shun unbelievers. We should still accept them and love them and try to lead them to God. But we should not be in a close relationship with them. So before you start dating someone or becoming close friends with them, take a step back first and think about it.
