When will all of the "blah" stop? It seems to me so often that the world goes so fast that we never get a chance to do something meaningful. I mean, with the media outlets so widespread, something that was news yesterday is forgotten today. This means that we can no longer do "one" thing in our life and consider that to be a remarkable achievement. Many os uf have done amazing things, but those things are in the past. We need to be constantly living a remarkable life; someone who is daily leaving their legacy....
So often in the church we try to rest on those "in the past" or "back in the day" moments that always impact others, but what are we doing today. Bring in "LEGACY." The definition for legacy is something that is handed down from one generation to the next. My own definition would be: something that is "worth" handing down. When i die, i want to have done so many great things through God that somebody writes a book about me; not so i can be famous, but so that people could see the faith of a servant and the grace of our God. My legacy needs to be one that people could learn from; something that they could aspire to be.
What is your legacy? Are you a bleep on the radar, or are you making a splash in this world? Do people outside of Georgetown or your family know that you even exist? I am not talking about titles or positions. I am talking about those times when you impacted a life and it changed; when you inspired someone to be a better person simply because you were and you made it desirable.
This week: start thinking about your life. What would your legacy be if you died today? Would someone write a book about you? Think on this...Wednesday night we will probably talk on this topic.
