3 Basic Types of People...

My sister shared this YouTube video with me last Saturday and it spoke to me so strongly, I wanted to share. I feel like I've met all of these people over the past few years and although things have been tough, this clip really helped put things into perspective. Enjoy...

3 Types of People: 

1. Confidants- Those people who love you unconditionally. They are into you… You’ll never inherit your kingdom without your confidant. If you have 2 or 3 of them in your lifetime, you are a blessed person. Without them, you will never be who God called you to be.

2. Constituents (read carefully)- These people are not into you, they are into what you are for. As long as you are for what they are for, they will walk with you and work with you and labor with you, but never think they are for you. If they meet someone else that will further their agenda, they will leave you and hook up with them. Throughout your life if you are not careful, particularly if you are broken, you will mistake your constituents for your confidants and you will think they are for you. Ultimately you will get your heart broken.

3. Comrades (again, read carefully)- These people are not for you, nor are they for what you are for. It’s just that they are against what you are against. They will team up with you to help fight a greater enemy…but don’t be confused by their associations. They will only be with you until the victory is accomplished. These people are like scaffolding- they come into your like to fulfill a purpose and when the purpose is complete, the scaffolding is removed. But don’t be upset because the building always remains when the scaffolding is removed. <-- POWERFUL

How to identify people who really are for you?

They will weep with you when you weep and they will rejoice with you when you rejoice. They will be happy for you when you share your dream.

God is so faithful…he will always give you somebody…
