A time to cry
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to You enough?
To make a mark on things
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace
Who blessed Your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy…
There are been a couple of times know that I’ve talked with someone, gave them counsel, told them what might be wise to do, what might not be. And then they make a decision that will ultimately lead them down destruction[1].
It’s maddening! I think the thing that really frustrates me is the amount of time I’ve invested in their life. It’s almost as if they don’t care about me…
Me…Hmm, I wonder if this is all about me and how I want to leave my mark. Do I want to leave my mark for me, or for God?
[1]: Destruction is a word that sounds very negative, and it often is. I think this is the word I would use because Jesus says that the path to destruction is short and wide. I think the way I used it may be a problem. I’ll have to ponder on this.
