None of us have arrived where we are in life by ourselves. Along the way, we have enjoyed help from others and blessings from God. God has a plan for all our lives, and if we take time to look, we can see that influence as we look back over the events of our lives. Even during times of trial and tears, God's hand has guided and directed us. God has not blessed and done all He has for us to waste it all on ourselves. We must share the goodness of God with others so that they, too, can witness that goodness. The Bible describes the scene in the upper room as the sound of a mighty rushing wind. The original word in the Greek can be translated as an echo. An echo is a sound reflected off of a surface. What are we reflecting? Do we transmit the goodness of God? Do others observe a life blessed by a loving, compassionate God? We must reflect a loving God and pass stories of His goodness, mercy, and love to subsequent generations. It is up to us to ensure the kingdom of God is generational.
