Influence

In my last post I mentioned some pretty familiar names, some big 'influencers' in the world... Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela have managed to have an influence of MANY people worldwide their work in changing the world, and making it a better place.

Pastor Mark asked us a question this week in church... Who has had the greatest influence on you? Chances are it's someone that I have never even heard of.

Sometimes its easy to glamorize the people who accomplish some big, well-publicized task, and we forget the value of everyday people who accomplish great things all the time. It easy to forget that the people who really make a difference do so on a personal level through relationships.

Obedience is key. Like I said before, we just have to focus on this 'love' thing and if we really digest and apply it, our lives would be changed. We may not make headlines for solving poverty or world peace, but we WILL effect peoples lives... We just have to make sure it is for the better.
