“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16 

 One day… each of us will leave this earth…. 

But what we leave behind… how we impacted the people around us will echo far beyond our final breath.  

The question we must ask ourselves is…. 

 Will our lives leave an imprint of love.. grace.. and truth.. or a scar of pain.. regret.. and division? 

An imprint that reflects Christ.. is a gentle.. lasting influence that shapes others toward goodness and faith. 

A scar… however… often tells of wounds left open or inflicted by bitterness.. pride.. or selfishness. 

 Each word we speak… each action we take… contributes to the legacy we leave….  

 “When we choose forgiveness over anger… generosity over greed… and truth over convenience… we begin to leave behind imprints that point others to Jesus.” 

May we live with eternity in mind… asking God daily to make our lives instruments of healing and hope… 

  Because….  

  “When the final page is turned… only what’s done for Christ will truly remain.”
