Pastor and author Erwin McManus continues our journey with "Chasing Daylight".

We underestimate the importance of influence when we choose to prioritize gaining success, financial gain, or command. The power of our influence cannot hindered by a lack of resources or authority. Authority shapes what a person does, but not their character; authority does not equal influence and it does not have the same result. The more energy and time you put into developing your character, the more you build into your influence.

Inhale the good and wisdom that God has for you and exhale His hope and joy into others. When you keep to yourself what He’s doing in your life, you don’t get more air to breathe, you begin to suffocate. Everything He gives us is meant to be shared and experienced by the people in your world. Your life will be measured by your influence on others!
