Over at Living on PB & J, we are writing about ladies who have influenced our lives (excluding our dear mothers). Many ladies have come to my mind who have influenced me throughout my lifetime. I decided to go back to my earliest remembrance, and I chose Mrs. Evelyn Conner. She is a lovely example of a Christian lady, a loving wife and mother. Click the box below to read this series.
Here are a few questions for thought concerning influence:
Who has influenced you toward Jesus in your lifetime?
Who have you influenced toward Jesus?
Who will you influence today?
How will you influence others?
How will people remember you?
How will your family members remember you?
Would you be characterized as a Titus 2:3-5 lady?
Could your influence be described in Philippians 4:8?
Titus 2:3-5 "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."
Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Some of our influence is intentional. Some of our influence flows voluntarily, unknown to our planning. May our purposed influence be a good thing. May our influence of overflow come from a safely guarded heart that sees into the mirror of God's Word and seeks to be a lovely thing by His measure.
