I have this continual prayer before God. I ask him to empower me to live the best chapter of my life for him right now.

I don’t want to look back and tell people about all the things I did years or even decades ago.

I don’t want to dream about what I will do one day when I have more time or resources.

Since I do not know how long this life will last, I want to make the most of every season for the glory of God. One day, I will write the final chapter of my story before I stand before my creator. That may be when I am 58, 66, 74, or 81. It really doesn’t matter because I am living for Jesus in the present, not the past or the future.

My life and yours will be eulogized one day, and I pray the people who knew me in those days will have clear evidence of my faith in Jesus through my actions. They will have stories of my work and commitment right up till the very end. Anything less is a waste of the remaining years the Lord has given me.
