What are you known for?
If the people you live with, work with, go to school with, and interact with on a regular basis were asked to describe you, what would they say?
Would it be a list of your accomplishments? A description of what you do to fill your time? A description of what you look like?
Or would they talk about someone who was known for something different? Someone who was a follower of Christ? Someone who puts others first? Someone who cares about others?
What are you known for?
That's a question that has been running through my head for much of the last few weeks. The truth is that what we're known for is also how we'll be remembered after we're gone.
What do you want to be remembered for? Are you known for that now?
Our society defines success by how far we go in our careers, how much money we make, and how much stuff we acquire. All things that can easily be taken from us. And things that no one will remember us for once we're gone.
That's not what I want to be known or remembered for.
As this new year begins, I want to live a life that is worth be remembered for. I want to live a life that flows out of a relationship with Jesus. That's what I want to be known and remembered for.
How do you want to live?
What do you want to be known for? Remembered for?
Are there changes you need to make that happen?
