Satisfied With Life

• Genesis 25:8 (NASB)

---

Genesis 25:8 says, "Abraham breathed his last and died in a ripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was gathered to his people." As I get older and am approaching the last of the 3rd quarter of my life, I want to reaffirm my commitment to die as Abraham - "an old man and saitisfied with life." Satisfied with my service for Jesus, my commitment to Jesus and my love for Jesus. Unfortunately, there have been too many instances in my younger years of not fulfilling that desire of my heart. I hope that, even though there are too many instances of not being as fauthful as I wish I had been, that God, Who looks at the heart, can say of me when I see Him - "He was a man after God's own heart." People have always told me to think about how I want to remembered by others when I am gone. But I have always thought about how I wanted to viewed by God while I lived and when I died. That doesn't mean I have "done" everything right but I have always known that deep in my heart I really wanted to and was devastated that I had failed to live for God in that moment. I really want to finish well!
