Building and working for your own glory, fame, and kingdom is futile and meaningless. No matter how great you think you are today, though people shout your name now, 100-years from now they will rarely even whisper it. You may change a million lives, your name will still largely be forgotten. Here's an example. During the heat of summer, most of us are able to escape it (and even survive it in places like Arizona) because of the fairly recent modern innovation known as air conditioning. It brings comfort to our lives everyday. It even saves lives every single year. Especially in the desert. Here's the question: What's the name of the man who invented it first? When is the last time you heard someone talking about him? When was the last time you thanked God for him? When you are at work or sleeping in a cool room in the heat of summer, have you thought about him? Probably never. His name was Willis Haviland Carrier. The invention is a little over 100-years old. He changed the lives of countless multitudes. Nobody knows or even cares about his name. He changed and continues to bless lives. And he is mostly forgotten. The more time that passes, the more he isn't remembered. What's the Name that will NEVER be forgotten and will always be treasured afresh in every generation? Jesus. So build and labor for His Name and Truth. It's the only true Ultimate and only truly meaningful thing. That's a life well lived. And everything connected to it has eternal worth.
