"A person who has the right relationship with God lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing." (Oswald Chambers)
When I read the above this morning, I had to stop and think back on all the people that have blessed my life in some way. Parents, family, teachers, co-workers, pastors, church folk and friends in several places, have blessed me. Some are direct blessings straight from them to me and some are indirect, as I am blessed by the way they deal with someone close to me.
There are people who have been this to me that probably did not even realize it. It might have been a one-time thing, a chance encounter, and it may have hardly registered on their radar, but it was what I needed at that time in that place.
That is what I would like to have said about me in my life. I would like my life to be such that everything that I did would bless others, and without me even thinking about it or realizing what is going on.
That would be a tremendous legacy to leave for others to remember, but a selfish lifestyle won't get that done. Getting myself out of the way, living in the love of God, now that is the ticket.
Oh, that that might be said of me.
