Gracce for your spirit February 20, 2013


Grace for your spirit
For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay.  Acts 13:36

When we walk through a graveyard, we usually see the date of birth and the date of death.  In between there is a short dash. The dash is our life.  What will that dash say about us?  I can imagine that someday people will be able to scan that dash with their phones, and get history our lives.  God has a purpose in life for all of us.  How are we doing in fulfilling that purpose?  I once had a friend who told me on his gravestone there would be no dates, just the simple inscription, "Jesus is the way"  That by life and death, he would magnify the name of Christ.  We will all die some day.  The question is, will we have served our purpose for God?
