In the day and age of social media, it's easy to get caught up in getting your name out there, how many people follow you, the amount of retweets you have, how many people read your blog, etc. You know, the ever-important platform. There's the common belief that the number of people who follow you shows how influential you are. And in many ways, that is true. But what's most important is not how MANY people you are "influencing" but HOW you are impacting those around you.
It is better to have a profound and eternal impact on a few, rather than have a superficial and non-eternal influence on the masses.
No matter who you are, you have influence, and I love seeing people use theirs in a positive way. But let's go beyond the game of who has the most influence and instead strive to make an impact for God's glory instead of our own.
