Read 1 Corinthians 1-3
1 Corinthians 3:10 says, "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." We are the product of everything we’ve done, of everything we’ve seen and heard, and of everyone we’ve met. Every day we change in increments so small it takes long periods of time to notice any difference. And it’s usually someone who hasn’t seen us in a long time who notices the change.
Our lives affect the lives of everyone around us, too. Family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, even strangers are just the slightest bit different for having come into contact with us today. We can focus on bringing out the best in others around us by doing our best and being our best. We can form habits of kindness and gentleness so when we’re having a bad day those habits become automatic preventing us from hurting someone who was counting on us that day.
God gives us the best starting place. When we build our foundation on Him and let Him use those things that influence us to mold us to be what He wants us to be, we’ll be in the best position to have a good effect on the people around us.
