If we view our lives as a series of chances to influence others, then we must inevitably ask ourselves if we are influencing others positively or negatively.  Think of every moment to spend time with your family, friends and even strangers as a chance to encounter God by helping them.  Don’t waste any more chances! If you feel you have lost all of your chances, you should know that God’s love is greater than your mistakes.  What if you have lost all your chances?  Maybe you haven’t.
