When I was working, I did the prudent thing and invested in IRAs and 401Ks. As everyone else, I was hoping that these investments and their returns would provide for our future. We are retired now and living off of these investments. However, with declining health and volatile markets, those investments do not provide the security that we hoped for.
We all leave a legacy on those we have impacted in life. The legacy may be one of truth, strength, and hope. Or we may leave a legacy of hurt, anger, and disappointment. Our legacy depends on how we lived and what we taught those impacted by our lives.
III John 3-4 says, “For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” I also have no greater joy than to know that my children and grandchildren are walking in the truth. We can make no greater investment than the investment of time, love and truth that we offer to our families. If we provide a godly example of a life lived for God and teach them the truth of God’s Word, then we have made the most beneficial and significant investment we can make.
