But when we have a pure heart and our speech is gracious we don\u2019t go looking for those relationships, instead these type of people attract people to them almost like a magnet because they can sense the genuineness of the person and in and through that these type of people will have friends with highly influential people because they can be trusted and their motives are pure in heart.
