Impact

Well, this picture particularly inspired me that every word said and actions rendered can make or break a person. Our words carry power.

I still recall vividly how I watched a man standing at the pulpit spoke passionately about 'Revival'. Man, I responded. As I type these words, my mind plays the video all over again only to see that the same man, who still delivers the message, no longer live in that manner I once believed he did. My heart is broken. I am upset. But the race is not over until He says so.

Well, when I spoke about character during my trainings, I mentioned that integrity and honesty are part of the package. See, He has very interesting and unique ways of getting points across to us. I felt the conviction grip my heart so strongly there and then, I paused, and in my heart, I made a decision to do away with my student concession card when I just graduated. I realised that I could not deliver the content when I don't live it. Wow, tough huh. Yes, there is a price to pay. Until you do so, keep you mouth shut.

I stopped the usage of the very much affordable concession card and started the seemingly neverending journey of the adult version. Am I paying more? Most definitely. However, I can now deliver the content with much more conviction and peace in my heart.

For all who speak into lives of others:

Let our words impact.

Let our lives impact even more.

Let the two, tally.
