What is one of the things that most people would say they wanted to accomplish in thier lifetime? I think, if you ask most people what they want to do, it is to somehow make a difference in the life of another person. Whether you're a pastor, teacher, coach, doctor, nurse, it really doesn't matter what area of work you're in, you can be an influence and help to others.
I have had many influences in my life. Sometimes there are people who are there to encourage you, and sometimes there are people who are there to push you out of your comfort zone. Many times, this can be the same person! I have had people in my life for a short season, and other's who will be there for a lifetime. It is the same with each of us.
I have come to believe that whenever you put yourself in the position to be there for others, there is the chance to get hurt. Why? I think it is because we open our heart, and that is vulnerable. But do you know, I wouldn't change it for the world! There's an old song by Garth Brooks called "The Dance". Part of the chorus goes like this..."I could have missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance."
Make each day count, even in the struggle, you are making a differnece!
