Powerful People

Me: Can you help me?

Prodigal: If I get a notion.

Me: Please, it would mean a lot.

Prodigal: I will help and you can share.

Me: Agreed!

This is from the book Keep Your Love On by Danny Silk

If you heard someone described as a powerful person, you might assume he or she would be the loudest person in the room, the one telling everyone else what to do. But powerful does not mean dominating. In fact, a controlling, dominating person is the very opposite of a powerful person.

Powerful people do not try to control other people. They know it doesn’t work, and that it’s not their job. Their job is to control themselves.

Leave that person to God. Focus on yourself. You can’t control, you just have give it to Christ.

Romans 10:1

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
