Passing Along A Godly Heritage!

In our last reading, I encouraged you to develop a
documentation of your experiences with God, to
bless your own heart, and to serve as reminders of
God's faithfulness to you over the years.
Today, let's carry the theme a bit further - for
the sake of your children, your grandchildren, your
great-grandchildren, and any other generations to
come, should Jesus delay His return.
Psalm 145 is a great passage to read, and I encourage
you to do so now, before going on in this treatise.
In particular, verse 4 states "One generation shall
praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your
mighty acts." WOW!
Think about the implications of doing such a thing!
Think about the ramifications of writing and listing
the blessings of God, answers to prayer, miracles,
not the least of which was your conversion! It's one
thing to "preach" to your kids and other family
members, it's quite another to recite and write the
numerous positive events that God has inserted into
your years of life!
How did you become saved/a Christian? What events
or circumstances led up to your decision to accept
the Saviour and make Him Lord of your life? Who
played significant parts in your coming to terms with
His invitation and offer to you?
How many financial miracles have you received?
How many times has God healed your body? Your
mind? Your relationship(s)? Your marriage? Your
emotions?
How has God used you to be a blessing to others?
Take the time to sit and remember - many exciting
and glorious happenstances have occurred to you
and for you - SHOULDN'T YOUR OFFSPRING
KNOW WHAT ALL GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU?!
The Bible, both Old Testament and New, gives
encouragement to you to "pass the faith along",
as the song goes. Timothy was greatly influenced
by HIS GRANDMOTHER'S FAITH!!
The stories are endless, what all you have encountered,
and need to be shared with those loved ones who
come after you. Generations to come may be blessed
by your story of God's love and care for you!
Ready to write? Good.
Remember, don't just write, tell your children and
their children about the goodness of God - only time
and eternity will tell what impact your testimony
will have on their eternal souls!
