There is something about having the privilege to be an influence in someone else's life...something very special.
Sometimes, we don't realize we're an influence, but more times than not, I think we know when God has anointed us to affect someone else's walk, appointed us the opportunity to support someone else in their daily walk with Him.
I'm sure you'll agree; it is devastating to learn that God has brought someone into our life, someone to help along the way, and we fail to see it. Oh my, I know I've blown it! I have wished many times that I could pick up the phone and call a dear soul who I later realize was led to my pathway by the Lord. I missed an opportunity to be His tool of ministry and guidance because I was too self-centered, or too busy, or too wrapped up in my own "stuff" to be a "listener," "helper," "lover of their soul."
Jeff Steele and I wrote song that Karissa just recorded. It fits these thoughts.
"It's time to grow up and be counted faithful in the work of the Lord... it's time to grow up, lay down the milk, feed on the meat of the Word... playing games is fun for a while, but let's train for that extra mile... grow up and be counted faithful in the work of the Lord."
