Charles
Spurgeon reflected on life and death by saying the following:
"A good character is the best
tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you. So
carve your name on hearts, and not on marble."
One day we
will all have a marble tombstone of some sorts, but the bigger challenge is
whether we are carving our names onto the hearts of others.
“This new
plan I’m making with Israel isn’t going to be written on paper, isn’t going to
be chiselled in stone; this time I’m writing out the plan in them, carving
it on the lining of their hearts. I’ll be their God, they’ll be my people. They
won’t go to school to learn about me, or buy a book called God in Five Easy
Lessons. They’ll all get to know me first-hand, the little and the big, the
small and the great. They’ll get to know me by being kindly forgiven, with the
slate of their sins forever wiped clean.” – Hebrews 8: 6-13 (Message)
Start chiselling.
