Iron People

This is a great life truth - and yes, it is found in God's Word.
I am sure many of you will have heard it before.....

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)

My life has been truely enriched by people of strength - "Iron People."

I "spark" off people like this - and at times I may not even agree with them!!

We all need people to inspire us. People who are catalysts for change.
People who "spur us on" and initiate a new horizon.
Iron people who help us redefine the countours of parts of our mind and world.
Love it!!!

Here is the same biblical truth said in other ways (don't you just love the Word??!!)

You use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17 (MSG)

As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend.
Proverbs 27:17 (NLT)

A friendly discussion is as stimulating as the sparks that fly when iron strikes iron.
Proverbs 27:17 (TLB)

People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron.
Proverbs 27:17 (TEV)

Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other.
Proverbs 27:17 (CEV)

Who do you spark off?
