I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention this week. That’s not to suggest I am voting democratic or republican for that matter. I just enjoy watching good speakers, orators, do what they do best. Regardless of your individual political preference, you’d have to admit that Bill Clinton is a top notch speaker.

During Bill’s talk tonight he shared a quote that really caught my attention.

“People are more impressed by the power of our example, not the example of our power.”

So true.

This quote speaks far beyond just the political spectrum to which Clinton was framing it. It speaks to every aspect of our lives.

How we treat the cashier at the grocery store.
How we treat the person who can’t do much to serve our own agendas.
How bosses treat their employees.
How those who have treat those who have not.

It speaks to believers in Jesus.

It reminds me that it is far more important for me to live out what I say I believe. I don’t have to force anything on anyone. If I am living it, they will see it. And maybe… just maybe.. they will want to live it too.
