Permanent Legacy | Living Your Life from the Heart

Life comes in different packages for each and every one of us. More often than not, we do not control the driving forces that shape our destinies; particularly during the early years of our lives. What is considered ordinary by one person can actually be a life-time opportunity and gift for another person. However, though we do not control these forces, we can still manage them for the betterment of our future.

In line with our subject matter today; let us take a look at the life of living from the heart, for the benefit of others. Take for example; a young boy from an affluent American suburb who has thirty pairs of snickers for sports use. Because of the affordability of his family, he is unlikely to wear all of them to full use. One day, he and his parents can just decide to take five of the pairs and hand them over to five young boys in a famine hit wonderland. And while chances are very high that the young boy from America and his family will not remember much of that event after sometime; but the five boys and their families may remember this event for their lifetime! This is because that which is considered small by one party may be a lifetime saver for another!

By whatever means, try to change other people’s circumstances. There is nothing called small when it comes to helping your fellow neighbours. That which you think is small may be the only difference between someone regaining their life or being condemned to death! Living your life from the heart is one of the most endearing ways to create a permanent legacy. People that we remember today such as Jairos Jiri, Florence Nightgale, Mother Teresa, Princess Diana, Grace Mugabe, Strive and Tsitsi Masiyiwa, Bill and Melinda Gates; all have a permanent legacy of giving from their hearts. They might have had one or two weakness in their human nature, but their footprints of remembering others are there for everyone to see.

Against all odds, God had to give his one and only begotten son; Jesus Christ; to rescue the world from its sinful and destructive nature. As he plainly says so in John 3:16, that “For God so loved the world….” – which became the springboard and cornerstone for salvation to humanity. If God lives from the heart of giving, why not adopt the same in our lives? We are his extension; created in his image and likeness! Do not be overzealous by considering the fringe benefits that come out of your gestures. Just learn to live your life from the heart and seal your permanent legacy.
