"Legacy"
This is the weekly email devotional of WhoUWith? Ministries (2004)
 

"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 God’s 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!
