How do you impact the world?

Sometimes we get caught up in how we will be remembered, our impact on the world. If you read the picture I posted with this then you know that sometimes the world chooses how it will remember you. It picks the "impact" you have or had on the world. Now as Christians where should our impact be focused on?

When I was in high school my youth group was named "impact" it stood for, imagine more people at Christ's table. Now as a high schooler all I wanted to impact was my social life,but now as a wife/adult I see the world in a much different way. A way that does make me want to impact the world with a passion that only be described as God given!

Now how do we go about this? How do we impact a world that only sees skin deep? Do we just post perfectly angled pictures of our selfs on social media and hashtag it #truebeautycomesfromGod or do we actually get up and put down our phones and go be the light to our city? We can have 1,0000 people following us on whatever site but if we are not truly living for God then where does our impact, well impact? As a Christian woman in this world does our ministry only happen behind the perfect tint to our photos? How does that change someone's world? Are we sugar coating powerful words from God with lipstick , new jeans and the right hashtag? In the picture it says all the amazing things that woman did and the world only saw her as pretty. Now I see nothing wrong with people seeing someone as pretty, she is very pretty(photo below). But I do see a world that looked past good to see her face. In the world today we often do this and as Christians we can be the most guilty. We use world standards to get our message out. I have done it myself! Now my big question for you today is, how will your impact change the world? Oh and one more question, will you be ok with do God's work and never famous for it? Those are my questions. I think in this time we have to check ourselves and how we want to impact the world. God has put is for more than one reason,but each reason is about him. As it should be, so why do we make everything about is and our works for him.

My last thought is this, do your very best to love each person, do God's will, and with every step we take impact the world for HIM!
