My prayer is that people will be able to say that about me when I die.

That you served God's purpose in your generation.

Imagine it chiseled on your tombstone:

There is no greater epitaph than that statement!

David dedicated his life to fulfilling Ine's purposes on earth.

Now I understood why God called David #amanaftermyownheart.

"David served God's purpose in his generation.

It was only seven words but, like the stamp of a searing got branding iron, my life was permanently marked by these words:

About thirty years ago, I noticed a little phrase in Acts 13:36 that forever altered the direction of my life.

GOD WANTS TO USE YOU

As Paul said, "Our goal is to measure up to God's plan for us."

These are the only issues that will count.

Did you love and participate in his family?

Did you communicate his message and fulfill his mission?

Did you devote your life to serving others?

Did you develop his character?

Did you put Jesus at the center of your life?

One day God will review your answers to these life questions.

The Bible says, "Our purpose is to please God, not people."

The only thing that will matter is what God says about you.
