Do you ever think about the people in your life? I mean in terms of whether or not they are ministers or ministries? Some people can cause you to soar or they can cause you to sink. Some are easy to be around and others well, it can be a little harder. Each one of these are sent to us for a particular reason, because God has a reason for everything he allows in our lives. He is not the author of fear, failure or hurts, but He can turn even the worst nightmare around for our good.

We are here to be salt and light and as I have gotten older, I have realized that I want everything I can to count for God's kingdom. This doesn't always work, but I am more conscience of it. I want to make sure I try to find common ground with even those who don't seem to have anything in common. For the sake of the cross, for the time I am here, Please Father, Help me to think outside the box, and more about the godly influence I can have, without being pushy or fake. I want to glorify you in everything, or at least a lot more than I am. You alone have answers to life's questions. Amen!

"Blessed be the Lord, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications! The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him." { Psalm 28: 6-7}
