the importance of others

2 Corinthians 1: 13b Now I trust you will understand, even to the end 14 (as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

In the day when we stand before the Lord Jesus to personally review our lives, I believe that many things we hold dear now will evaporate like mist.  But what will remain is the investment and impact our lives have had on the lives of others who will also stand before the Lord.  It is all the "others" in our lives here that make life incredibly precious.  And it is in the nature of our interaction with others that we find our highest purpose, our greatest calling and our most enduring worth.  As others come to a knowledge of Jesus and find His reflection in our lives they have opportunity to turn to Him and return to him and find that Heaven awaits and eternity beckons.  Our lives matter here and now as we have opportunity to reach out to others for eternity.
