When we're gone...

[Daily Miracle]

I was just thinking, if I were to die right now, very few people know I'm a born-again Christian. I think that says a lot about how I'm serving God. I'm not; not enough.

I also don't think I'm going to be remembered for the things that have always been important to me, or for the things that are important to me now. My reputation and character were always important to me, so I've always practiced restraint. As a Christian, obedience is very high on my list. Prayer, and the power of it rank high too. None of these things are things I'll be remembered for though, because they've been part of my private being.

I'm sure I'll be remembered for being a business owner, but this is something I'm very humble about. I'm not arrogant about it, and while it is a part of my life, I don't necessarily want to be remembered for it.

I'm a decent parent, nothing noteworthy.

I've never had troubles with addictions, my friends don't lead me to temptation, and I had great parents...so I won't even be remembered for a lifetime of struggles I had to overcome.

I haven't contributed to any good causes I can be remembered for. I haven't done anything spectacular that will go down in history with my family.

I'll probably be remembered for smiling, and being happy, and for looking at the bright side of everything...but now that I'm thinking about it, these are gifts I haven't developed further than myself.

I guess I need to work on these things while I'm still here! I want everyone to know God did amazing things for me and through me!

My Christianity is still a secret, and that's a darn shame, and it's my fault.

Has this issue popped into anyone elses mind? How do quiet people that are better listeners than talkers make their Christianity stand out more? At this point, I'm thinking a sign on my forehead will do the trick.

Your message failed to mention what Christian service you provide or how you invest the ten percent of your income that Christian's are required to spend helping others.There are just so many terrific charities in urgent need of funding due to the lousy economy.For instance,there are Christian organizations that allow you to become a part-time parent for a child in a poor country.(World Vision is the best known and the LEAST in need of funding)By exchanging letters with your "foster" child,you can have a Christian influence on him or her.If your city has a Big Brother program,you can become a mentor and part-time father for a boy living in a deprived environment who is in need of Christian guidance.

Just keeping up with the news can alert you to numerous ways you can provide Christian service.Right now Haiti is in crisis due to a failed American foreign policy.Ok here you go -American Friends Service Committee is the organization to fund.The Holy Spirit gave that name to me.This is truly amazing!I left this site to run a search for that organization and I discovered that they already have staff in the country providing emergency services.I have absolutely no connection to this organization,but obviously God does.This is extremely critical.The Holy Spirit has gotten really heavy with me on this.Ok I'll make it real easy for you.Ready? 1-888-588-2372.PLEASE DO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON GOD.

The bottom line is that we shouldn't be concerned about what others think about us but we should be very concerned about what God thinks about our stewardship.GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU is what Jesus promised.The Holy Spirit is telling you how you can best be remembered when you depart.Please go for it.THANK YOU GOD! YOU'RE TRULY AWESOME.

Sometimes, just living our faith is enough for those we come in contact with to see the results of Christ in our lives. God works in mysterious ways.

As we walk in our faith & study the word of God, God will manifest Himself in our lives and reveal Himself to others. He told the deciples not to take script with them on their journeys because the Holy Spirit would teach them what to say when it was needed. Listening and sharing words of encouragement and hope is a ministry in itself.
