Influence
Leaders change the world around them. (Todd Henry, motivational speaker)
Probably everybody thinks at one time or another that they’d like to change the world. They have a clever idea or a new slant on things that would dramatically change life for the good of everyone else. Very likely Henry’s view is that you have to begin with “the world” nearest you. First, consider how you can positively influence those right around you.
Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others (2 Corinthians 5:11).
