People have a tendency to speak about you in this life based on their personal encounters with you, good or bad. They judge your actions, motives and faults and find reason to not fellowship with you or respect you.
When you die they speak well of you in spite of your faults and the past conflicts and differences they’ve had with you. I am convinced that we should speak to people in the body of Christ everyday as if they are already deceased. We should eulogize folk daily. Why? Those of us who are born again have already died.
Colossians 3:3(NKJV)
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Show folk how much they mean to you now instead of when they are physically gone.

This is great food for thought and action. Mainly, to take action. In other words, be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer. We need more doers. I will exercise this blog and pass this one on. (James 1:22).
