Life that impacts!

As we study the people that were involved in our church history, a man named Ambrose of Milan, have caught my attention. Ambrose of Milan was a defender of salvation by faith alone and in his lifetime he accomplished many things. One of his successes was his impact to the life of St. Augustine, the man who read his writings and sermons and was convince to accept Christianity. Amazing isn't it? I was so amazed by how God would turn someone toward Himself. The impact of the life of Ambrose to Augustine was so evident, that we could learn from history that Augustine even became one of the great leaders of the early church and also influenced other peoples lives, specifically the reformers.

This made me think of my own life and have led me to evaluate myself on how am I living my Christian life. As ministers of Christ, we are aware of the fact that people are looking at us. And we have to be good role model toward them, especially on how we live our Christian life. Though sometimes, we may no longer see how our lives have made an impact to those people that we are ministering with in this lifetime, let us still continue to model a faithful and enduring life in Christ. So that those who come behind us will also do the same.

To say that we have to live a life that impacts other people's lives seems easy, but in reality it is hard. For we know that as human as we are we commit mistakes. But even then, we should not be discouraged. Let them see that we are not perfect but also learn to do what is right. Pursue what is right! Model a life that is faithfully serving our Savior.
