As the New Year began, I felt like God gave me a word for 2024.  The word is "Impact."  One of definitions of Impact is... to have a strong effect on someone or something.  It is my desire to have an impact on the lives of others for the Kingdom.  The following are a few ways that can happen.

1.  Love God..“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37

In order to make an impact of others'   lives is to Love God, make Him your everything! Give Him Full reign!

    2.  Love… Others  . . .“And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” – Matthew 22:29

Those who genuinely love God are compelled to genuinely love others. God’s love fills us to overflowing in a way that we see people as God sees them and love people as God loves them. A life of Kingdom impact calls us to see, stop, and spend time with people as the Holy Spirit leads us.

    3.   Shine. . . “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16

Live a radiant life! “Letting your light shine” comes from having a light to shine! The light, love, and life within you that only comes from an intimate relationship with the Lord.

These are only a few of the ways we can impact the lives of others.  Go forth today and Shine!
