I'm that kind of person who think of death, something like what if I'll be dead in less than 10 years, 20 years time. No one know when the Lord is going to take away one's life. He gives, he takes away. The other day I was reading Ps Sam's book called "Found in Christ" and the words struck me. "One of these days, they're going to take you out to the cemetery, drop you in a hole, throw some dirt on your face, and go back to the church to eat potato salad... ...When you die, would you leave this world happily alone or would, when you leave, everybody else is sad and heartbroken. The answer depends on whether you live to get titles or testimonies.
Now I am not sure how many will turn out on the day of my funeral, how do they react, will they be quiet or happy or sad or devastated, and how many will testify on what I've done in their lives. In the end of the day it is not about my career or my wealth or even my achievement anymore. It is about the legacy that I leave behind. I want to make impact the lives of people around me. I want God works His plans and miracles through me.I want to reach out to those who lost their identity and directions, be the one to approach when they do not know what to do, and someone they can look up to, someone they can learnt from. I know I'm not exactly perfect. To be honest, I find it very, very hard to love someone that is unlovable, I am kinda lazy, and definitely not a very patient person. But I believe if we allow God to use us as his vessel, He will change every flaws in us, just like what is written in Philippians 1:6, we can be confident "that the God who started this great work in you would keep it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears." In other words, God will complete the job. There are few things that God has put my heart on. It has become my desire to serve the Lord by bringing people even closer and nearer to Him, giving Him the glory and honour 'til the very last breath.
How would it be for your life?
