Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better. Philippians 1:22 NLT
The question this verse begs me to ask myself is “am I living the kind of life which is really making a difference?” In other words, am I producing “fruitful service for Christ”? If I weren’t here, would I be remembered for my contributions to the Kingdom of God? I’m not sure I know the answer fully to those questions, but I know one thing. I want my life to count for Christ. Do you?
When they speak of you at your funeral, do you want it to be easy to list the accomplishments God has brought through your life? I do. I have a passion to be found worthy of Christ. I know my life isn’t perfect, and there is so much I should do that I don’t ever get around to doing, but I really do want to finish well. I want to leave a legacy of service for Christ to my children. I want them to have testimonies of watching me walk by faith, trusting in God, and loving others through Christ.
I preached a funeral one time of a man who was so humble, so loving, and so well loved. He had served Christ faithfully for many years. It was so easy to find words with which to pay tribute to him. That’s the way I want to live my life. How about you?

What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
