"The measure of a man's character is not
what he gets from his ancestors, but what he leaves his descendants."
What is a
legacy? Legacy is defined as."anything handed down" and/or "freely
given". What type of legacy are you "handing down" and/or leaving to those
around you?
TThis isn't just what
parents leave their children.it's what an employer leaves to his company.what a
athlete leaves to his team.what any leader leaves to his
followers.
Are you creating a
legacy that invests in the lives around you? Or, are you only concerned with
yourself? Are those around you nothing but "stepping stones" to your personal
success, or are those around you "precious stones" who are treated with great
value?
What does Gods Word
say?:
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark
10:45
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue
but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18
Have you truly invested your life into those
closest to you? If you died today, what would be your legacy? Live each day as
Christ calls us to.serving, sharing and loving! Now that's a legacy.
Just a thought!
