What Will You Leave Behind? A good man leaves an inheritance... Proverbs 13:22 Paul probably didnt leave any money or property when he died, but he did leave a legacy-a superior one! His legacy was his writings, those he won to Christ, those he mentored and his enduring influence. Every day your life touches other lives in unseen ways. You dont have to know someone personally in order to experience the blessing of their legacy. Like walking into an empty room and catching a whiff of someones perfume, your impact can continue to be felt long after youre gone. Usually we associate legacies with dying and we dont particularly like the topic. Or we assume that since our legacy wont be revealed for years, we dont need to start investing in it now. In some cases, we feel like weve little or no control over what we leave behind anyway. Not so: A good man leaves an inheritance. What will yours be? More importantly, whats it going to cost you? Since the best gifts arent always handed down in your will, why not try for something more meaningful-something that points to who you were. Its one thing to measure success by the money in your bank account, the size of your property holdings and the value of your stocks portfolio. Its entirely another to measure it by intangibles like being a faithful marriage partner, raising great kids, building Gods kingdom and leaving your light burning brightly when you go. All great legacies come with a price tag. To move beyond mediocrity, you must invest every day in the accounts of those who follow you!
