Legacy

We are leaving a legacy to our family and friends! We are either deliberately working to leave a positive impact or we are leaving a void because we are not taking serious our responsibility. Legacy means leaving something of value either material and or a way of living to those coming after us. Don't get caught just existing, watching weeks, then months fly by. Ask God to show you what He has created you to do. Begin obeying the thoughts that come to your mind that line up with His Word. Don't worry when you make a mistake, yes do your best to correct it but don't stop trying because you made one. Everyone makes mistakes; spouses make mistakes, parents make mistakes, children make mistakes, boses make mistakes, etc. Spend a few minutes everyday (5 or 6 minutes to begin with) being quiet and say "God do you want to say anything to me"? Pay attention to the thoughts that come to your mind after that prayer. Don't think anything is too big or too little to do. God is a good parent, He won't ask us to do some big thing when we have never done anything, He will give us a simple instruction and see if we will obey it; just like a parent tells their child to pick up their toys. Once we prove we will obey the small commands He will give us some larger ones to follow but just because we have been given some bigger instructions, we never outgrow the need to stay obedient to the simple ones. The enemy wants us to believe we don't matter, we are not good enough, not consistent enough or not "holy" enough. Trust God to tell you what to do, when He wants you to it and follow through even when you feel insecure or have more questions than answers. This guarantees we will not take credit for things He does through us or the legacy we leave for those coming after us! God bless as you begin building your legacy today!
