Kapag may pressure, may paninindigan ka pa rin ba?🫡

Now that we're talking about peer pressure and friendships, can I ask you about your experiences with your friends? Lagi ka bang pressured sa kanila, o meron bang mutual acceptance and understanding within your circle? Hope it’s not the former, but ang hirap kapag di ka tanggap sa grupo, di ba?

Sa amin ni Mark, I was the one who had a harder time fitting in with my classmates kasi hindi ko talaga interest ang mga hilig nila. But then I found my circle—like older schoolmates and sometimes even teachers—kaya hindi naman naging malungkot ang high school and college life ko.

It’s the last day of our series, “Peer Pressure and You.” Sana nakatulong ito sa'yo para mag-isip tungkol sa mga kailangan mong gawin. We encourage you to send us an email to share any breakthroughs you’ve experienced or any struggles you’re still facing related to peer pressure. Our e-coaches will be more than happy to respond to you!

Today, let me share with you this Bible verse: 

May mga kaibigang nagdudulotng kapahamakanngunit may kaibigan mas malapít pakaysa sa kapatid.(Kawikaan 18:24 ASD) 

Ikaw ba, nagkaroon ka ba ng kaibigang naging dahilan ng kapahamakan mo? Pero sana rin, meron kang kaibigang mas malapit pa kaysa sa kapatid.

This verse shows us kung gaano kahalaga ang pagpili natin ng kaibigan, at kung paano din tayo magiging tapat na kaibigan sa iba. We can actually be someone who brings a positive impact to our friends’ lives. Kapag alam natin ang ating pinaniniwalaan and we’re firm in following Jesus, we can choose this path even when others pressure us to go the other way.

Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle! 

Isa kang miracle!
