The Mark Of Your Life

Saturday, August 21, 2021

The English word 'character' comes from a very similar Greek word that means an 'engraved mark'. As a believer, you're to be a person of character. But what does character have to do with engraving? Your character is that which will leave the mark that identifies your life, just like an engraving. It won't be your money, fame, notoriety, or success that matters. It will matter if you were a godly person - a loving parent, a faithful spouse, or a good son or daughter. You will make your mark in the kingdom by your inner nature, integrity, and purity of heart. You'll become a person of true character by walking in the Lord and choosing His ways over and over again. Every time you choose righteousness, you're engraving it in your life and in your character; the deeper the engraving becomes, the deeper the mark becomes of your character and legacy. You still have time to leave a great legacy of a great life. Don't focus on the outside; instead, focus on the inside. Get out your spiritual engraving tools, make your mark, and engrave your character.
