INFLUENCE 3-D How do we see people? Mostly it's in one dimension, maybe two dimension. God sees us 3-D and wants us to see people 3-D. When we do, we see how much God loves people and how important they are to God. It's when we get past the flesh and the soul and see 3-D, the spirit, we influence the way we should.
