When I’m gone

Sorry that it has been awhile since my last Devotional. My grandfather died and we have been very busy getting things together.
His funeral however, was where my inspiration for today came from. What do you want people to say about you after you are gone?
I will tell you what they said about him. He was a friend to strangers (and that caused is trouble on a few occasions 😅) he would serve quietly without being asked. He loved God and knew Him as a friend. He prayed for family, friends and people he never knew with the same fervancy. He loved to work and create but mostly loved to serve Jesus. He gave of himself. In the end. He was the example the Bibles give us on how to live lile Christ.
Not every day. Not every moment. There were plenty of times he was just as human and emotional and led by self as the rest of us. But the times he was like Christ in his actions and words greatly outnumbered the times he was not, so that’s what people remember.
We will never be perfect in our service and walk with God. But are we trying? What do we want others to remember when we are gone? If they think of us and see Jesus in our life then we have truly won the race.
