A legacy

What legacy are you leaving?  What will you be known for? 

Over and over and over Paul writes in the New Testament encouraging the churches to be Holy children of God through prayer and the pursuit of holiness.  He warns them time and time again to stay righteous; stand firm against the devil.  A life worth living imitates godliness and holiness.

As I strive to live out the Truth, I want to be known for the Lord Jesus Christ in me. Not only do I want to live as Philippians 2:12-18 says “lights in the world.” I want to be a peacemaker.  James 3:17-18 says “The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. A harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”  
I want to be a peaceable, gentle, light in the darkness full of mercy and sincerity, open to reason while being open to reason and impartial to all.
