Yesterday, this world lost one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. She was truly a beacon of light for the Lord. Not just in the words she spoke, but in the way she lived her life. You didn’t have to wonder whether she loved Jesus. You could see Him in everything she said and did. ❤️
And it really got me thinking…
If you died today, what would people say about you?
Would they say you loved the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength? Would they say you were a reflection of Jesus in the way you treated others? Would they remember your kindness? Your compassion? Your willingness to serve? The way you loved people, even when they weren’t easy to love?
Would they say your faith was more than something you talked about on Sundays? That it was something you LIVED every single day?
Or would they have a different story to tell?
That’s a hard question, isn’t it?
Because the truth is, we are all leaving behind a testimony. Every single day, through our words, our actions, our attitudes, and the way we treat the people God places in our paths, we are telling the world something about who we serve. And one day, when our time on this earth is finished, the opportunity to change that testimony will be gone.
I don’t know about you, but when my time comes, I don’t want to be remembered for what I accomplished, what I owned, or how successful I was.
I want people to say, “She loved Jesus. And because she loved Jesus, she loved people well.” I want my children to remember a mama who didn’t just tell them about Jesus, but SHOWED them Jesus. I want the people who crossed my path to have seen a little glimpse of Him through me. And I know I fall short of that every single day. But praise God for His grace and for another opportunity today to do better.
Mark 12:30 tells us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. Not just when it’s convenient. Not just when people are watching. Not just when life is easy. With ALL that we are.
So here’s my challenge to you today, and to myself:
If the people closest to you were asked to describe your walk with Christ, would their answer match the testimony you THINK you’re living? Because ultimately, it’s not about people speaking highly of us when we’re gone. It’s about living in such a way that when people remember us, they’re reminded of HIM. ❤️
Lord, let my life point people to You. Not just in what I say, but in everything I do.
