So many things in life are bittersweet. I can’t help feeling sad over the tragic loss of Dr. Myles Munroe and his wife. I had the privilege of meeting this amazing man who endorsed my first book. He was truly a humble, godly man who will continue to impact the world through his years of ministry and teaching. He authored 69 books and touched countless lives – including mine.

I have to keep reminding myself that they – along with the others in the plane – are now in a better place. It is those of us who remain behind who have the bittersweet taste of memories.

Isn’t this the case with battles in our lives as well? We don’t usually look for, or rush into problems, but isn’t it through these very hardships that we grow stronger? Bittersweet.

I don’t believe that God is responsible for the problems in our lives. I do believe that He will take what the enemy means for evil – and use the attack as fertilizer in the garden of our heart that is the driving force of our lives. The decisions we make come from the depth of our hearts.

As we honor those who have gone before us, let us remember that it is the power of God that truly changes a life. Allow His power to continue changing your life so that the legacy you leave will live on as well.
