My husband says I'm "too picky" about who I fellowship with.
I say he's not discerning = light does not sit with darkness.
While I can be cordial with strangers & associates … I keep my inner circle small.
I know who has my back. Who can [read] me as soon as I show up. Who [feels] me when I am absent. Who knows the King & is so familiar with the Throne Room, they stand with me and FOR me: interceding on my behalf when when I am so overwhelmed, words fail. These precious people hold my hand & help me reach for the hem of His garment.
Best Friends (center of circle = bullseye): 1 or 2 dearest, trusted, loved ones. They know you - their love is unquestionable, and they are faithful to keep your confidences between you, them, and Elohim. They unwaveringly stand with you, through thick and thin. Your walk with Yeshua & your spiritual depth, is fairly equal. Together, you can move mountains through prayer, encouragement, and loyalties.
Special Friends: 2 to 4 closest friends outside the center circle; these people are also dear to you - but their walk with Yeshua may not be the maturity level your spirit requires & they may not as strongly bonded to you as your bullseye friends.
Social Friends: 4 to 10 people you spend quite a bit of time with - usually in a group gathering. You share some of yourself with them … but they only know what you allow them to know about you.
Casual friends: 10 to 50 people you socialize with. These people are more like acquaintances than actual friends. You know each other on sight, you may remember names, and you may engage in social activities together - but that's as far as things go.
Outside the Circle: Strangers & adversaries. You may pass each other in corridors, hallways, on the street, in supermarket aisles … but you do not interact on a personal level.
Your circle matters.
So, YES - I AM "picky".
