That was the question at the end of one of my Bible studies today. Very deep and got me thinking seriously.
First it would be wonderful to be remembered at all, eh? I know that when I see, read, or hear something to remind me of a friend or loved one who has gone on to the Lord, it triggers me to think about them and the joy they brought into my life. Rarely do I think of anything bad about them.
But the question is how do I want to be remembered?
My first immediate response was "for spreading the love of God to everyone I meet!" That is my life's goal. To spread God's love to everyone, whether with a smile, a hug, a kind word, whatever it takes.
I would also like to be remembered for the JOY that I experienced in my life. For the many joyful blessings God presented me with. I do have so much joy in my life.
So this morning I want to challenge you to think about how you would like to be remembered. Are you living your life in such a way that it will happen?
Dear Father God,
Please help me to always remember to treat others so that they can see Your love in my eyes. So they can know that You love them even more than I do. It is such a blessing to me when I am able to show someone love.... especially those who need it the most.
Amen
