As we grow older, we often wonder if life has any sense and meaning – What have we achieved or not achieved in life? In his book Ecclesiastes, Solomon also asked the same questions and shared his fears for a life without purpose with us.<\/p>

There \u00eds a purpose for your existence here on earth: To mean something to someone and have an impact on his or her life. A true legacy enriches people’s lives, not worldly possessions, success or achievement.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When Jesus ascended to heaven, He gave us the Holy Spirit as a legacy. Likewise, you and I can also leave something behind that can change people’s lives from generation to generation. What you have achieved in your career means nothing compared to the influence you can have on the lives and hearts of people in need of the Good News.<\/p>

Each of us knows what impact a Bible can have on people’s lives. You may have had such an experience yourself and there are also many testimonies confirming it.<\/p>

In our temporary existence here on earth, we are placing the Word of God in people’s hands and hearts. However, what happens when we exchange the temporary with eternity and sit at God’s feet in heaven? Will those who remain behind still be able to continue with His commandment here on earth? If there are enough people, will there be enough Bibles?<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
