Greatest Message I've Ever Heard...

Have you ever been in the middle of a movie and thought to yourself, "This has got to be the best movie I've ever seen..."? (I did that with Avatar and The Dark Knight...) Well I had one of those moments today... just with Kris Vallotton speaking to 2nd year instead of watching a movie that I spent $10 on... Kris talked specifically today about how we as a company need to shift our mindsets from "this generation" only to "multi-generational" thinking. Example: We as Americans look at this terrible economy and say, "Oh my goodness! How horrible is our economy or government or whatever... How are we going to get out of this season as a nation??" When as people of "multi-generational thinking" should not just be asking "How do we get out of this recession?" and be asking "How can we prevent another recession from happening to our children's children's children's children? What can I do now to create a successful future for them and the government they will live in?" Hopefully that makes sense.
I was blown away by this message because it started making me think about the legacy that I will leave behind... What will that look like? What am I doing today that will affect my children's children's children's children? What do I need to start doing to leave a legacy that will bring prosperity to my line and not hurt, lack, or disappointment? This is one message that has been so timely, so accurate for what my heart has been asking the Lord recently. I'm still chewing over it. So as I become more ingrained in this message, I'll probably post more. I just thought I'd give you a taste :)
That's one thing I've developed since being here... is asking questions to myself... and pondering... like What will my legacy look like? What will my great, great, great grandkids say about my life? What is it that I'm growing in now? What is it that I need to grow in? How am I affecting the people around me? Why am I feeling this way? Is there a deeper root issue to why I feel this way? What is the truth that God has to say about me? Holy Spirit, what do you think about me?.... stuff like that... these are the questions for me, at least, that put me to action. Get me to do something about my life when I'm not happy about an area that I need to build muscle in. So yeah... Jesus is so good. :)
