You cannot be afraid of bad influences around you, even with some company you keep. The world itself is full of good and bad, but scriptures declares, “be in the world but not of it” Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

All my life I hung out with the good and the bad, beauty and the beast(ugly). I never discriminate against anyone simply because I am not “afraid” of the influences and temptation they could have on my life. I am confident in my Faith and who’s I am. I live by this principle, “greater is he that is in me, than He that is in the world. I trust and have faith in God that He’s my keeper, he will not suffer my foot to be moved. I was once told I could make friends with the devil himself and I said, “as long as he understand I am on the Lord’s side.”

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven, Matthew 5:16.
