It's the dash that's in between the dates that shows how significant our lives were.
.
Will mine just remind people that I had 5 children, or that my children grew to be Christ-loving adults with honesty and integrety and servants hearts?
Will my dash just remind people that I was married, or that I had a loving relationship with the spouse that God entrusted to me?
Will my dash just remind people that I worked hard, or that I was able to help God accomplish something for his kingdom?
Will my dash just remind people that I took time for myself, or that I took time for Him?
.
In the brief time we have before eternity, every moment counts! We don't know our final date and at that time, we won't have the opportunity to say I wish I would have been more.
.
Doing more for God won't be the difference of entry into heaven or not, because that's a personal relationship with Christ. It could, however, be the difference in whether or not someone else knows Christ through our lives and gets to spend eternity in heaven. Do I spend as much time on things that will last as I do on things that will fade?
