I have been thinking about lately how we influence people in our lives. I am thinking back upon the people who influenced me the most. There were several people some more influential than others and some in my life longer than others. I think it is neat how when I have been down and out with nothing going for me and no hope of moving on. One of the things I remember someone helping me, weather it be a word about something non-related or some life lesson someone tried to teach you. I am so grateful that God has brought the right people in my life at the right times. What I find way more encouraging is that I am important enough to God that he would have people there to help you out even if you don’t see it that way.
It also encourages me more and more to try to be a person that God can use to help people. Don’t matter to me if I am just helping the needy or God gives me discernment to say the right words to the right person at the perfect time. I do want to be someone and something God can use to help serve his kingdom.
For I know how grateful I am for the mentors, leaders, friends, family in my life who have so heavily influenced me and kept me basically from going down the wrong path in life I would have so easily gone down. So I do thank all those people, but I praise God for he was the one who brought them in my lives. Some of them didn’t even understand or realize the magnitude of their presence in my life and some of them did. But you don’t have understand something to be used to do something.
So I say do you feel you are someone who can be used by God to help his kingdom weather by physical things or material? Do you want to be that person?
