Be That Positive Influence

How cool is it to know that you have made a positive impact on someone else? When you represent Jesus, how much more precious to know that your influence has helped another guy or gal make lasting changes in their lives.

I used the Passion Translation today so that you could really feel the love and tenderness behind the words. As Jesus ambassador (representative), you have great power to do anything promised in the Word. One of the most powerful things you can do is just really represent Him well. When you do that, you are speaking on His behalf with love and tenderness. They need to KNOW you care; not how much you KNOW.

The ones in your area of influence need a loving friend that is sensitive to what’s happening in their life. They may not be a Christian yet, they need to know who Jesus is. They may have been a Christian for many years yet have had a difficult period in their life, they need to know who Jesus is. They may be doing things that are wrong and contrary to their beliefs, they need to know who Jesus is.

Whatever the situation, you represent Jesus and need to be a positive influence on those around you. They should be able to know who Jesus is by watching and listening to you.

2 Corinthians 5:20 TPT

[20] We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ's behalf, "Turn back to God and be reconciled to him." #paulaandthebible #helpforyourdailywalk
