“So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.”
How do you want to be remembered? We have to accept that death is a part of this life. Not to be feared, but to be a celebration of this life and the life to come. From a jail cell, Paul wrote, “For you have died and your life is hid with Christ in God.” The person you were before coming to faith is gone and you have been born again. When that happen, life changes.
Lives that burned for the things of this world are transformed into selfless lives of service. Things are seen for what they are. They have functional value and it’s nice to have nice things, but not at the expense of being able to do for others or finding your self-worth in them.
We don’t remember people for what the took — we remember people for what they gave. How do you want to be remembered?

Wise words. We often lose ourselves in forging and accumulating things of this world, but ultimately what matters is who we ARE and not what we have. We can only hope that how we will be remembered resembles what we truly were. Great blog – follow from my end:) (BTW.
