"Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth." - 1 Corinthians 1:26

We are all influenced by something or someone, and in turn we can be an influence on someone we know. Don't use that influence in the wrong way to only benefit you. Be an influence to others under God's influence and guidance. Be a positive influence on everyone you interact with. Thank you and God Bless!
