Your Influence

The sign of a good leader is their ability to replicate themselves in others. Moses had Joshua. Elijah had Elisha. Jesus replicated Himself in His disciples. Paul helped Timothy grow as a leader.

In your life, who are you taking the time to pour into?

You may not consider yourself a leader on the same levels as the examples I've given, but you do have people watching you. You do have people who notice your good and bad habits. You do have people who notice your walk. It could be a coworker, your children, a neighbor, or a friend. Whoever it is, are you giving them a positive influence?

Take time this week to actively pour into another individual. Ask the Lord to show you who needs your positive influence. Ask Him to show you the right keys to place into someone else's hands.

As you focus on helping another person grow, you'll find yourself growing as well. As you share your wisdom, you'll learn some new things as well.

Don't keep all of your goodies to yourself! Go out and share what you have with those around you! You are full of priceless treasures that can be sown to produce a legacy that stands long after you are gone. Don't let the world miss out on your knowledge!
