Life happens when we give ourselves away. The greatest thing you could do on this earth is to invest your life and yourself in someone else. To pass yourself on.
Making investments in others means sharing your time. Time is a precious commodity. According to surveys, time is what most kids want from their parents. They just want their parents to take time out for them. Most dads say, later in life, I wish I had spent more time with my family. The best use of our time is not spent getting more and more; it is spent giving more and more to others, sharing with them our hearts, our dreams, our lives.
Making investments in others means sharing our heart and our faith. People want the real us. We have to take off the masks, take down the walls, and reveal the true self. People need to hear about your relationship with Christ. How much you need Him. How important He is. The intimate details of your relationship with Him. Sharing your faith with others is sharing your life with others.
Taking someone alongside and investing in that person is the most fulfilling thing you could do in life. It's the reason we are here. Let's be others-centered today.
