Week 3: Impact

As we end this series, We want to mention one last thing the generous life will give you. If you choose to commit yourself to a generous life, you will create a legacy.

The dictionary defines legacy as, “anything handed down from the past to the next generation.”

Let this sink in for a moment. Generosity is not just about what it does for you. It’s not even just about what it does for the recipient of your generosity. The generous life has the power to go far beyond your life and your story. We all know our time here on this earth is limited, but the ripple effect of our generosity has the ability to be used by God far beyond our lifetimes. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what you are doing today is creating your legacy. So here is the question: what is the most powerful legacy you can create? We’ll give you a hint: It isn’t money, and it isn’t fame.

Each of us has the opportunity to create a legacy of generosity. You can live a generous life today, and I promise it will continue to impact people well after you are gone.
