God just was before anything else was. In Jesus birth, God merely stepped out of eternity into time to provide redemption for human beings. That is so true. We will tend to hang around people who are like we are. That is just a natural tendency.
Holy people hang around holy people.
Kind people want to be around kind people. Principled people like to be around others with principles. Loving people like to speak well of others hang around others who want to do the same thing. Critics hang around criticizers. People who want to try to run things in the church hang around with others who want to do the same thing.
