LEGACY

We are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Which means whatever was their lot in life after their fall from grace is passed on to us.

I can say that makes me personally happy. I mean in all fairness, I would like it if we had some choice.

But we don't. It is part of life that we must embrace even if it doesn't translate into joy. It doesn't relate to understanding though.

It is hard to say what all was the consequence of their fall in the garden and what would have happen regardless. So we can't always be clear on that part.

What we do know is that perfection is not part of the program. Whether they were perfect before I can't say. I just know that none of us is perfect now.

As for if we will ever be perfect in eternity, I guess that depends on your concept of perfect. I don't think that the kind of perfection we think of in this life will apply to eternity. It will be different.

Hopefully that means better. At least for the redeemed. As for those who are condemned I'm not sure a perfect form of judgment will make anyone smile.

But then I don't plan to be among those that finds out that problem. I will prefer to celebrate the joy of being in the lord's presence.

In the meantime we must content with the legacy passed on in this life. Which will always be a challenge.

One if focused right through the eyes of faith is able to see God despite the chaos. And that is the best part of the legacy we can have.

Which is the part I think we need to cling to the most. That no matter how much life fluctuates in demands we can still trust to the Lord.

This is easy to forget at times. We can be consumed with so many other thoughts and that is never quite what it should be.

That is so easy to get lost in the midst of all the other things we think and do. That becomes the challenge for us to fathom what should be the clear in our minds.

This will always be a challenge. It is so easy to have it mixed up in the midst of life's struggles.

Remembering our true legacy is what helps to guide on where life should be lived. But with God's help we can always remember.
