INFLUENCE
Constantine the great gave a significant role in Christianity as well as politics. He was worldwide known person for his accomplishment that made him more famous. He was the known emperor in the west and east of Rome. He made a lot of development within his term and made a difference at that time. His name is inculcated in the very minds of every person. Even today most of the students who love reading historical books most likely know who Constantine was.
His life reminds me of what He did in the past that made a big impact to history. His accomplishment that made a significant role to the Church and to the country. I was able to look at myself about it, if what impact that I could give in another person's life. Influence that could give glory to God or what difference that I could give in order to glorify the name of the Lord. I was thinking that in the remaining month that we have here in school maybe it's not too late to do an action, an intentional one, that will made a difference or can leave a legacy, a good legacy, to the school and in FED assignments.

I was thinking of mentoring someone in Christ. In such a way that they will continue to live a life pleasing to God, a person that is abounding in love, obedience, and God fearing. It may be hard for me to do it but I know that my divine mentor is always there to help me in times of whatever situation. It's hard for me in the sense that no one personally and intentionally mentors me. I haven't had that experience of being mentored. Though it's hard I will try my best to mentor someone at the end of the school year. I know that it is not just a one-time event. I know that God will help me lead the person in such a way that he will walk in accordance to God’s purpose and will for his life. As what Sir Nordine preached at one chapel time, I need to do the hard thing. I need to stretch myself for the glory of God. As of now I was thinking of a lot of things that will leave legacy here in school and even outside school like in the FED assignments. I was thinking of what are the good thing that I could give that will please God as well as gives impact to someone's life.
Constantine's life is a picture of a person that will give encouragement to every leaders of today. Though we may see the good and the bad side of his being yet we can see the accomplishment he had and impacted the whole world. Constantine is just like you and me. All of us had a bad experience as well bad habits yet God can do something about it if you are willing to stand and make difference for God. Let us always remember that our time here on Earth is passing away. We don't know when will we die but remember what you can do now, do it all for the greater glory of God by making difference and impact to someone's life.
