“The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.” (Proverbs 10:7)
All legacies fade as time and distance wipe us from this world’s records. As the years cause the memories to blur, we are left with only the general outline of someone’s life. The details disappear, but the overall impression remains.
The righteous man’s memory becomes only sweet thoughts and warm feelings in the hearts of those whose lives they have touched, and the remembrance of a wicked man distills down to tinges of pain and scars left on the lives of the living.
Which will be? What will be the highlight reel you leave behind?
