Do you wonder if you died today if your life would have amounted to anything? What made me think on this is the comments I see on a certain social site.So many time I see @^&* my life or I give up. I think in everyone's life there comes a time when we ask ourselves, " Have I made an impact anywhere or on anyone? Have I lived to only realize I am invisible?" In Ecclesiastes the writer says all is vanity. So I guess it is safe to say we all get there at some time or 'ta other...
Many times we try to fit with the 'in' crowd, we try to draw attention to ourselves with flashy dress, loud behavior ect. We often base our worth not on who we are but what we make, where we live or what we drive. The sad truth is for the most part we will never be a "star", a household name or famous.
Is 58:10 states-If you pour out your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall rise in obscurity. Isn't funny that the way man looks to it that we need to be our own cheerleaders, put ourselves out there, push to get ahead and Gods way is to minister to others needs, get outside ourselves; in other words polar opposite of man's way..Let me pose a question in closing. Would you rather be a star that fades and by the next generation the question of "who?" comes up or would you rather affect someones life and while your name may not be any more memorable than that faded star your legacy goes on to generation after generation? For you see when you affect change in one person, give them a hand up so to speak , and the instead of wallowing in sin and grief they blossom into children of God who then affects not only those around them but those who follow them one generation after the other. Famous or life changing? Hmmm I know which I would choose. You?
