This week, we take a personalized look at vision, purpose and mission in our spiritual leadership. Our personal vision and purpose should focus on the eternal and we should invest our lives in what will outlive us. Our vision and leadership should be connected to eternity. Anyone can leave an inheritance of some material value, but it fades and becomes exhausted or diluted in time.

A legacy is something that you can leave behind inside the lives of your family and those whom you lead. Your legacy should permanently transform the lives of those you lead and should live in their lives long after we pass away. Our goal should be to leave the eternal legacy of Jesus Christ in the lives of our family, children and grandchildren.

Abraham Lincoln said, “What’s important is not what my ancestors were. What’s important is who my children and grandchildren will become.” We may never know some of our grandchildren or great grandchildren, but they should know who we were in their family chain. John 18:37 “For this I have been born and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness of the truth.”  Will this be the internal impact of your legacy of spiritual leadership?
