Today, I had time to retract from the world and just listen. Time to hear from God and just be still. During that time today, my heart was broken. It dawned on me how many people really do not know the Lord. It is not that I do not think about that, or realize what a lost world we live in today, but today it just seemed to grip me more then it has before.
I come into contact with, literally, thousands of people everyday and am in a position where I get to invest in people. Giving them a smile, their caffeine fix, or calling them by name... I impact people. It makes me think, look back, and see how I could have impacted people in my past interactions. Not to get stuck in the past, but to look, reflect, and move forward.
Do you make the effort to really connect with the people you come into contact everyday? I think that we could really effect world if we would take more time and effort to really connect with people. I am definitely not perfect at always making that extra effort and time to really connect with people, but it is something that I strive to do everyday and I see it really impact people.
People are very guarded today, and a lot of it has to do with the amount of hurt people experience in life. I want to change that! I want to connect with people at a deeper level and impact them in a positive way. I have always thought that I am going to be a world changer, and maybe the way that I will do that is by really connecting, loving, and impacting people at a personal level.
I want to live a life that is going to bring people to the Lord! I desire you to join me and change this world.
Take some time, slow down, and just embrace the quiet. Realize who you impact, reach, and interact with on a daily basis. Remember, you are a priest. You impact the world everyday... How will you move forward?
