Influence

“For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:16-17

People are influenced by a variety of things, our families, our culture, our emotions, those who hold positions of authority, our susceptibility to the things around us and more. But what influences you? Are people drawn to you because of your exterior presentation or lip service? This season is a great opportunity for the world to see that the things desired are temporal things, they won’t last. There will always be new toys, new trends, new fads, they’ll come and go. They’re drawn to for a season and then go away. However, an encounter with Christ is everlasting and is seen in the countless people who share His presence in their own lives. When people see you, what do they see? I hope they see Christ! #powerful #desire #influencing #God #Christ #everlasting #encounters #Godspresence #livelivesforChrist #shareChrist #Jesus #SpiritofGod #seethesonrise
