John 14:27 (NIV) – Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
A legacy is something that is handed down from the past. You don’t get to keep or take it with you when you go. Jesus left his disciples with a legacy of peace. He left them with the Holy Spirit who would bring peace to their troubled and afraid hearts. Jesus knew He was leaving but didn’t leave His followers with nothing.
One day we’ll all leave. How do you want to be remembered? Jesus didn’t just leave His followers with peace; He lived a life that represented peace.. If you want to leave a legacy of love, live a life filled with love for all! If you want to leave a legacy of truth, do everything with sincerity and integrity. Make a choice to live your life as the person you want to be remembered as!
Prayer: “God, thank You for leaving Your mark on this world. Help me to be the person you created me to be and live a life marked by You. May my legacy reflect who You are. I love you. Amen.”
