This is the kind of life that all God’s people should desire: That we would be living proof of God’s loving activity in our lives. This is the best use of our lives: that God would reveal his power, express his love, demonstrate his grace, and establish his kingdom, and of as a portrait of how blessed are those who belong to him, who love him wholeheartedly and obey him always. This is the way I want to live; this is the testimony I want to leave. May the generations that come after me recall my life and give praise to God. May they hear of God’s activity in my life and place faith in him.
A Simple Prayer for Enduring Influence:
God, make my life an enduring testimony of your great love and lavish generosity. Make all of me—my thoughts, words, deeds, relationships, and service to you—be an ongoing testimony for generations to come of your awesome greatness. Lord, I ask this not for myself, but for your Name’s sake. I confess that there are parts of me that selfishly want recognition, and there are other parts of me that act in ways that are simply incongruent with this prayer. So Heavenly Father, forgive me, purify my motives, change my heart, and never again let me stray my mission to represent you. Fill me with your enabling Spirit that I might be used for your eternal glory.
