Establishing Our Steps!!!! (1 of 5)
To arrive at a desired location will entail step-by-step movement.
Progress will always include taking one-step at a time combined with other steps to accomplish our goals.
Our pace of steps differs from others, as some people's steps are slower, while other people's steps are faster.
It is not the quantity of steps and neither the speed of our steps for some people are mandated to cover more ground than others do.
In addition, our predetermined life span determines the number of steps we will be able to take.
However, what is important for each of us is the quality of our steps, for quality produces positive contributions!
One's intensity of his or her steps will be determined by the importance and urgency of what one is attempting to accomplish.

Establishing Our Steps !!!!
Such also are the steps of our lives.
Each day, we are "Establishing Our Steps" and creating our personal blueprints, which will
outline to others our individual identities.
Our choice of actions and steps displays our true character, beliefs and conviction of heart. It is one thing to "talk a good talk" to attempt to fool others and to impress them.
However, our definite steps and choices do not mislead or lie, for they actually reflect our true selves.
How we talk, act, think, what we enjoy or don't like, etc., will all be illustrated in our steps of action.
Our steps of action will either take us to or away from the desired success and positive result of our overall journey.
While the conclusion of our lives is a totality of our steps, each day consist of short journeys of steps in "Establishing Our Steps" of life.
|
Each day we are establishing the realities of:
1) our contributions or hindrances for humanity
2) our accomplishments and attempts,
3) our actual existence on earth, etc.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves some very serious questions.
What kind of legacy and history is being established by my steps?
What is the evaluation of Daddy-God of my life?
Will I be known and remembered as being a godly, loving, generous and helpful person or the opposite?
How am I using my abilities and talents, which each of us has been given?
To what degree do I share with others the Word of God, who gives me multiplied witness of His reality, love, grace and mercy?
What is being recorded in the "Scroll of Heaven" regarding my life?
|
Additionally, we must ask ourselves:
What is the evaluation of my life by my family, friends, associates and even people whom I have no idea is watching me?
Am I really concerned with how I am being described now in this life and will be after I have departed this life?
Being concerned and careful in how we "Establish Our Steps", gives us the power of what will truthfully be documented of our lives.
What we do will determine if our steps would be missed now and when we no longer continue on earth.
As we remember that each day our actions and words are "Establishing Our Steps" in this present life and in the world
/life to come, we will submit our lives to be governed by the Word of God.
For God's Holy Word contains the Way, the Truth and the Life of how positively to "Establish Our Steps".
|
Establishing Our Steps !!!!
Be mindful and careful to make your life count in a positive way.
Even if our past steps have negatively affected both others and ourselves and we have missed
opportunities to do well, or our words did not positively contribute to enrich lives, we can begin anew today.
Right now, we can begin to turn our steps in the direction which will benefit others and ourselves.
Remember today is truly the first day of the rest of our lives.
The question now is, what am I going to do with this grace-extended, God given new "Day of Opportunity"?
Let us decide that the history of who we are and were in our lives will positively affect, encourage and
benefit the world because we lived and will motivate others to positively influence others.
God bless you.

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. Billy Graham
No legacy is so rich as honesty. William Shakespeare
"Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day." Bill Graham
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations. Christine Gregoire
True leaders don't invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people. Myles Munroe
History will dictate what my legacy is.. Al Davis
Apart from values and ethics which I have tried to live by, the legacy I would like to leave behind is a very simple one - that I have always stood up for what I consider to be the right thing, and I have tried to be as fair and equitable as I could be. Ratan Tata
My mother always told me that as you go through life, no matter what you do, or how you do it, you leave a little footprint, and that's your legacy.
Jan Brewer
A friend of mine said something powerful at his grandfather's funeral. He said that the greatest lesson from his grandfather's life was that he died empty, because he accomplished everything he wanted, with no regrets. I think that, along with leaving a legacy, would be the greatest sign of success. Marvin Sapp
"Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you." Shannon L. Alder
"Everyone must leave something behind when he dies . . . Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die . . . It doesn't matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away." Ray Bradbury
"We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children." David Brower
"The choices we make about the lives we live determine the kinds of legacies we leave."
"Language allows us to reach out to people, to touch them with our innermost fears, hopes, disappointments, victories. To reach out to people we'll never meet. It's the greatest legacy you could ever leave your children or your loved ones: The history of how you felt." Simon Van Booy
