Leadership
I’m continually reminded that most times influence is not big and flashy. It’s not done in large gulps or in front of the masses, but in small quiet doses over long periods of time. (Suanne Camfield, church women’s leader)
We would like to think that we can have a positive influence on others, and we look for some great opportunity to make a big contribution in their lives. But, as Camfield suggests, the most frequent occasions we have to positively affect someone are usually simple, ordinary chances to encourage, motivate, or challenge a companion.
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. . . . So encourage each other and give each other strength (Hebrews 10:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).
