00:00:06
with this little tidbit Don't
live your life like a ghost.
4
:
00:00:09
Ghosts go largely unseen, unnoticed.
5
:
00:00:12
I'm not talking about prideful
recognition, by the way.
6
:
00:00:16
Ghosts go largely unseen, unnoticed.
7
:
00:00:18
They don't make footprints.
8
:
00:00:19
They don't leave an impact.
9
:
00:00:21
They don't make a mark.
10
:
00:00:23
Don't live like that.
11
:
00:00:24
Live your life as someone
intent on making an impact.
12
:
00:00:28
And I mean that in a spiritual sense,
not just in a worldly glory sense.
13
:
00:00:33
That's not what I mean.
14
:
00:00:34
I mean, in the spiritual sense, make an
impact, leave an impression on people
15
:
00:00:39
that you have an encounter with, that
you have exchanges with, even if it's
16
:
00:00:42
people that you're only having a brief.
17
:
00:00:44
Momentary exchange with, , someone
in the checkout aisle.
18
:
00:00:48
Either the clerk or someone in line with
you, Say good morning to a stranger.
19
:
00:00:53
Smile at people who could use a
smile., compliment people for nothing.
20
:
00:00:57
Make it a real compliment.
21
:
00:00:58
Don't just, you know, lie to them.
22
:
00:01:00
Make it a real compliment.
23
:
00:01:01
But highlight something.
24
:
00:01:03
Hey, that looks really nice.
25
:
00:01:04
Hey, what you did there
was really, really good.
26
:
00:01:06
Hey, you're such a wonderful person.
27
:
00:01:08
Highlight something in, in their lives.
28
:
00:01:11
You can make an impact that way.
29
:
00:01:13
Tell people God bless you.
30
:
00:01:14
Tell people God be with you.
31
:
00:01:16
You can make an impact on people that way.
32
:
00:01:18
By living your life intent on making
an impact, In your interactions, even
33
:
00:01:23
in the work that you do, you become
the light of Jesus or the light of
34
:
00:01:28
Jesus is reflected in your very life,
in your day to day ordinary life, the
35
:
00:01:35
light of Jesus is reflected in you and
people see that and it stays with them
36
:
00:01:41
and it gradually moves them closer and
closer, hopefully by God's grace, moves
37
:
00:01:47
them closer and closer to wanting to
know what is it that that person has.
38
:
00:01:51
That makes them such a light, so
nice to, to, to interact with.
39
:
00:01:56
What is it that they have?
40
:
00:01:58
I want that for myself.
41
:
00:02:00
Make an impact.
42
:
00:02:02
Don't be a ghost.
43
:
00:02:03
Make an impact.
44
:
00:02:04
In, in your life, in your concentric
circles, in the world immediately
45
:
00:02:09
around you, make an impact.
46
:
00:02:11
, and try to make it last, not
for your glory, not for your
47
:
00:02:14
pride, but for God, for Jesus.
48
:
00:02:17
And God will make that, turn
that impact into something.
49
:
00:02:20
He will, He will cause it to, to produce
fruit, but it requires your participation.
50
:
00:02:28
That's all I have for you.
51
:
00:02:28
Make an impact.
52
:
00:02:29
Don't be a ghost.
53
:
00:02:30
God bless you.
54
:
00:02:31
Bye bye.
