You Never Know Who You Are Influencing!

I have really began to dislike a certain trait in people that seems to have almost reached an epidemic level. NEGATIVITY! I really don't like to hear people that are always negative. No one lives their life without something positive you could focus on. If the you can't find something positive in the people around you, that says more about you than them. In the Book of Revelation, even when God had something that He needed to address, He still found something positive also. Having worked with teenagers for the last 10 years, I've learned probably more from them than they have from me. Like anyone else all they want is to be loved and accepted and all they want out of the people around them is to BE REAL!! No one wants to spend alot of time with someone that is always tearing down everyone else. You never know who is watching you. Your influence is wide and if you publicly confess to be a Christian, you may be the only contact some people will ever have with Christ. Jesus gave us the perfect example of how to influence people. Everywhere He went, He loved people. If we as the Called Out Ones can learn to love with the love of Christ in us, we too can influence many. Not the first invitation was sent out inviting people to hear Jesus speak and yet people followed Him everywhere He went. Everyone of us has baggage that we drag along with us wherever we go. We need to learn to turn this over to God and let Him turn it into testimony. You never know you is watching. We all live different lives, faced with different obstacles and different trials. I believe that God allows this not only to draw us closer and to teach us, but that others may learn from us also. He never promised us the road would be easy, He only promised us that we will never walk alone. Please focus on letting the world see Jesus in all aspects of your life. The person or persons you lead to or away from God, may be your own loved ones. My name is Jason Horn and I Am Second!!
