Living and Leaving a Legacy

what will you be remembered for when you have passed away? what do you think most people will probably have to say? what things would you like to be most memorialized about? what things about you would your friends and family shout out? what have you accomplished in life? what good works and deeds have you done? where you a devoted servant of God or a disobedient one? what significant mark on this world do you hope to leave? will there be anyone around who for you will mourn or grieve? will you have touched any souls or enriched any minds? what type of lasting and living legacy will you leave behind? when it comes time to take that final ride in that black stretch limo what of your life's accomplishments will you want people to know? for as naked as the day that you first appeared on this earth what bare facts do you wish people would remember about you first? a lasting and living legacy, your entry in the book of eternal life will it be a legacy as a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ to have been a member of the family of the Most Holy Lord to have been one who was called to come and get aboard for you can't bargain, you can't scheme and to Him you cannot bribe to have a place in God's heart where only truth and goodness reside so as you travel your life's journey keep God always on your mind don't sweat the small stuff not buy into the devil's lies now turn to your sons, to your daughters, nieces and nephews the future generation you need to reach out to the children, the continuous legacy of our very lives our children, the next generation of servants for Jesus Christ introduce them to the Lord and leave a faith in them so strong show them that your life was a living testimony to the Kingdom of which you belonged let the children know that God has given them love, power and self-discipline show them that there's nothing to fear but fear in the end help them discover the gift to them that God did give their true purpose, passion and destiny for which they should live tell them that this faith has always been in your family the inheritance of belief a lasting and living legacy pass the baton of faith so your memory will keep on living fan the flame of faith that which to you God has given a strong belief system that you will pass on down the line by living and leaving a legacy that will be remembered for all time
