A great debate rages in Christian circles as to whether it is the Lord's will whether one should marry or embrace celibacy. There is nothing in the Bible to support the idea of celibacy and the first blessing that man had on him bestowed was that he should pass on his genes, This may be his greatest legacy. Many who for various reasons reject marriage use as an excuse that the Lord desire for them celibacy. I find it interesting that many are not afraid to tell lies about and on the Lord.
A wasted life is the life that when it has ended there is nothing to pass on to a succeeding generation. How sad should a man die and no one can recall that he had been on the earth or that during his life he impacted not even one person.
Wealth may not be the only legacy one can create. It would be nice if parents have wealth to leave for their children but even more valuable will be if the parents leave the means of obtaining wealth. The majority of us will not have wealth to leave to our children but there is the even greater legacy. Life should not be limited to our own family but the opportunity is available to impact those outside our immediate circle.
Presently life is fantastic and the universe has become our immediate world. Ours is the opportunity to impact the world for the world still need original thinkers. Children are sent to school and universities to be shaped and molded into what society expects. Society expects fitting into its mold but society may or may not be ready for world vision and many are impacting the world with their visions. this too can be an opportunity to create your legacy. Do not say all of opportunity's doors have been closed because the man who truly desires, doors will open to him.
Wealth is not necessarily money. The supply of Money may come to an end but think about what can you leave on this earth that will continue to impact humanity even when you are gone and into the next millennium.
Just imagine the endless possibilities of creating a legacy that can last.
