How will you be Remember?

How Will You Be Remembered?
Imagine yourself coming into a church. You are
walking down the aisle and to your left and
right are people with grief written all over
their faces. You can feel the sense of loss in the
atmosphere. It’s a funeral service. And it’s just
about to begin.
You walk to the casket and you come face to
face with yourself. Really, it’s your funeral
service forty, fifty or sixty years from now. And
the people there are loved ones who have
come to honour you and show appreciation to
God for your life.
You take a seat and look through the program
in your hand. Four people will speak about you;
your colleague at work, your pastor, your child
and your spouse. The question is, what will they
say about you? Or what would you want them
to say about you? What difference would you
have made in their lives. Think deeply about
this.
The answer to those questions will define the
direction in which your life should go right now.
It will clarify your values. It will re-organize
your priorities. Some things that look so
important will suddenly not seem to be the
most important anymore. The answer to those
questions will give you a clear sense of
direction.
To die effectively, we must live effectively. And
to live effectively is to fulfill God’s purpose for
bringing us into this world. God has a purpose
for each of us. That purpose is God’s yardstick
for measuring our success.
The greatest tragedy in life is for one to die
without having achieved God’s purpose for his
or her life. I believe that the greatest question
in life is; “WHY WAS I BORN?” And I am
convinced that the greatest day of a man’s life
is the day he discovers the answer to that
question.
A life that is lived without fulfilling its God-
ordained purpose therefore is a waste of time.
Life without purpose is an experiment. But this
life is too short for experiments.
Ask yourself these questions; “Why am I here?
What difference am I supposed to make? What
contributions am I supposed to make to my
family, my society and this world?”
Your answers will determine how you will be
remembered.
You will Succeed!
