I am reading through a book at the moment called, The Treasure Principle. The premise of the book is about taking a hard look at the way we go about giving, specifically with our money.
Yesterday there was a question I read that I have pondered before, and I thought it would make a nice discussion topic for our community series.
What do you want people to remember you for?
It is a simple question, and one that has a focus beyond day to day doldrums we may be prone to adopt.
This reminds me of a quote from Matthew Henry. “It ought to be the business of each day to prepare for our last day.”
What is your legacy?
My longing is to be remembered as a man after God’s own heart. What does that look like you ask?
I believe James 1:27 sums it up well. “Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
I love kids, and I love to see people prospering. My goal is to have nothing in my hands when I die, but leave it all for the good of the kingdom.
It is fun to build businesses and income streams that can support family beyond my years - I believe it is a good thing to do so. Yet, let our efforts for success never keep us grounded from the best.
Pilgrims travel light. Our journey doesn’t end here.
