Woman of Influence

As I think about Jesus I believe he was title less here on earth even if some called him teacher. Jesus was a man of influence.

Jesus lived a life displaying the truths His father in heaven gave Him. He lived a life without holding unforgivness up until the day He died. As He lived his life He went about sharing and spending quiet time in prayer.  I guess this gives us an idea about influence. Because Jesus lived in this manner He attracted those around and about him. There was a peace, a love, and an understanding of mankind that was displayed. One could not help be influenced by him.

So today what characteristics can we portray to be that woman of influence? This is what I see. You may want to add to this as time goes by.

A woman of influence walks and talks out of love and appreciation of others.  Her loving inner impression of heart is recognized through her uplifting words of encouragement.  She is a woman who is always looking for divine appointments and acting upon the direction of the Holy Spirit.

A woman of influence continues to tell and share her life with the Lord to others. She is fun loving and light hearted yet brings forth deep truths of the Spirit.

A woman of influence asks questions to those around her. She listens attentively and relates to their situation.

During tough times a woman of influence prays. She prays for others, herself, and the world in which she lives. She is a woman who realizes that Jesus Himself is the chief intercessor praying along with her interceding for the needs and hurts of His people.

A woman of influence has a compassionate heart that responds with mercy and grace.

Most importantly a woman of influence always leaves behind a vision and a purpose for those to hang on to. People know that there is something much more in their lives and they are here for a divine purpose.

Last but not least, a woman of influence has unconditional love for all. That is ALL. Just as Jesus healed all she displays unconditional love to all.

I aspire to become this woman of influence. Don't you?  Today we pray, Lord help me become that woman you intended me to be.  Bring me to an understanding on how my life can be lived as a woman of influence!  In Jesus name I pray.
