What would people say if they summarized your life?

As I sat there riding the bus I looked around at those sitting with me. I wondered what each of them was thinking. Were they thinking about work, school, or what they need to get done for the day? Maybe some of them were thinking the exact same thing I was. It seemed to be just another typical day of going through the motions of life. We rode a little further down and passed a cemetery. It seemed to catch everyone's eyes. At this point I think I knew what everyone was thinking about. Many of them try to stop looking and stop thinking about what that cemetary represents, as I have done many times. We as humans all resist the idea that one day we will be in a cemetery. And then what?
As far as this world goes, no one wants their life summarized on a piece of stone. Why? The reason is obvious, we all want to think our lives meant a little more to this world than what a few words or sentences can possibly express. I think deep down we all hope we will have more of an effect on the world. Of course, many of us have given up on any thoughts of "doing something great" with out lives. But at one time in our lives we have all desired to do something noteworthy. You can see this desire to achieve or be recognized throughout our culture. This is exactly why internet blogging and Facebook have become so big in the last decade. This is why we are all so obsessed with documenting every moment of our lives. We so badly want to have an effect on each other. We all want to be recognized and heard by those around us.

The internet has certainly given us a temporary means to fill that desire for affirmation. But the moment we separate ourselves from it, reality sinks in and for many of us, there is a feeling of lonliness. Just remember, when you close your laptop and it seems nobody is there to listen, that you are wrong. Jesus Christ is still there, waiting for you to talk to Him. He loves you more than you can imagine. He loves you so much that He died for you. Why not give God a chance to fix your broken heart and give you fulfillment in life. Stop forcing yourself to believe that this is "just the way life is". Life is what you make it. You can either let your life be summarized on a piece of stone or you can give your life to Christ and He can do so much more with it. It's really entirely up to you because God gave you the option to choose Him. You don't have to be good or perfect to accept God's gift. You don't have to do anything other than just believe in Him and accept His sacrifice for you. Just know that either way, Christ loves you for who you are and He wont ever give up on you.
