I like the second definition of “impact” found in the Oxford dictionary (online): “have a strong effect on someone or something.” Merriam-Webster says it this way: “to impinge or make contact especially forcefully.” This one I do not like as much because impinge generally implies a negative effect, and I am thinking of impact in a positive way. For the same reason neither pushy nor forceful work either. Yet somehow I am sensing that the Spirit of our God was active in this way in my life on a pretty constant basis over this past week.
