My Christian Influence Good Or Evil?... Spiritual Nugget

Every soul is surrounded by an atmosphere of its own—an atmosphere; it may be... charged with the life-giving power of faith, courage, and hope, and sweet with the fragrance of love.

Or it may be heavy and chill with the gloom of discontent and selfishness, or poisonous with the deadly taint of cherished sin.

By the atmosphere surrounding us, every person with whom we come in contact is consciously or unconsciously affected....Our words, our acts, our dress, our deportment, even the expression of the countenance, has an influence.

Upon the impression thus made there hang results for good or evil which no man can measure.
Every impulse thus imparted is seed sown which will produce its harvest.

It is a link in the long chain of human events, extending we know not whither. If by our example we aid others in the development of good principles, we give them power to do good.

In their turn they exert the same influence upon others, and they upon still others. Thus by our unconscious influence thousands may be blessed.
