Living for legacy

Scripture: “David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep.” — Acts 13:36

Legacy isn’t built by what you accumulate—it’s built by what you give away.

David’s life wasn’t perfect, but Scripture sums it up in one powerful phrase: “He served God’s purpose in his generation.” That’s legacy. Living not for self, but for something that echoes beyond your lifetime.

When you pour your influence into others—mentoring, encouraging, investing, leading—you multiply your impact. The goal isn’t to be remembered, but to help others remember Jesus.

Your legacy isn’t measured by how long your name lasts, but by how deeply His name is known because of your life.

Prayer:

Lord, help me live for more than myself. Show me how to pour my influence into others so that Your name continues long after I’m gone. Amen.
