Live a Legacy: May 2008

What is Living A Legacy?

Proverbs 13:22 "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children..."

This is something we live out everyday. This goes beyond leaving a financial blessing for your family when you are gone. This verse touches on something that resounds deep in the heart of men, and people everywhere, the question that can weigh heavy at times, "will my life mean something and have a lasting effect?" When you embrace the lifestyle of Living a Legacy, you are choosing everyday that you are going to live a life worthy of the calling, by the grace of God, that will bring Him glory and make His name known. That the display of God's power, giftings, and blessings to others would have such an effect and make such an impact on those around us that our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids, would be talking about their Dad, or Grandpa and saying things like, "Do you remember when .....happened," or "I heard that God did..."
I have had the privilege of having amazing men of faith in my life who have been a great encouragement to me, and some who I haven't seen in years, but reflecting back on how they lived the Love of God still challenges me throughout my weeks and sets a standard for me in what it means to be a man of God. I want to be a man that lives a life that leaves a legacy for Christ that is talked about for generations and effects the lives of my children's children, and that is what this blog is about. Join me in making the choice daily to be a man that lives a legacy.
What kind of legacy are you choosing to live today?
