Dear Myles Munroe


I couldn't resist the of not temptation of writing this note as my heart is truly heavy... this is actually the second time this year I have felt this way in some time. Hearing that Myles Munroe has passed has truly saddened my heart.
This is a special tribute to him.
Dear Myles Munroe, you are one man that affected my life greatly… your wisdom, your style, and teachings were out of this world. No one has challenged my thinking the way you did.
I’m thankful for your inspiration. Your messages/teachings on the KINGDOM, LEADERSHIP, RELATIONSHIP, LOVE and LIFE have impacted me, and have molded the way that I see life. I still carry around with me the many kingdom principles he taught because they work.

One of my favorite quotes of yours is “the greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.” This quote changed my life. It made me begin to do everything with purpose.  Out of the books that I own, your books take up the most space. Words can't express the way that I feel about your demise.

You lived what you taught and preached. You are not like “some others” whose lives are rocked by many scandals… You lived your life with great passion; you pursued truth and spoke out where many others kept quiet.
You may be gone but I will forever cherish the wisdom that you have deposited into my heart. You lived your life to the fullest. You left your mark on this earth...you left your mark on me.
There is really so much I can say but I will conclude by saying have fun hanging with Jesus...you finally get to see him face to face...a gift you truly deserve. Until we meet, I will be my best, do my best and work harder to continue where you left off...changing the world.
Dear Myles Munroe… Rest in the bosom of our LORD.
If you are reading this, you will agree with me that Dr. Myles Munroe’s demise is a shock and a great loss. And at such a time at this time, we are reminded of the urgency of the time in which we live in. Like never before, we need to do God’s business until he returns.
We have to make the best use of our time while we have it... life here on earth is temporary. Life is but a vapor that passes away so quickly. We must make sure we are living a life of purpose and doing all that God has ordained for us to do so that when it is our time to go our legacy will still be left behind.
Lastly, cherish each person who is in your life, especially those who challenge you to be your best [for God and humanity] and encourage you to good works.  You never know when they will either leave or pass away. There's no time to waste. Let people know how much they mean to you today.

Until next time, stay focused.

Just Sharing My Thought
Listen. Laugh. Smile. Relate. Share.
Grace to you and Peace.
