Steve Irwin, what an incredible life, and we should thank God for his dedication to preserving God's creation. But the saddest observation for me about the great life he lived is this, he missed the fundamental point of life, to know and bring glory to God.
Upon his death he received the accolades of the world, the profound love of those who knew him, but it appears to me that he has missed the greatest accolade of them all, to meet face to face with God and hear the words "Well done good and faithful servant."
Let's never devalue his contribution, indeed let's continue his legacy of valuing and preserving the environment, but let us always remember the real point of life, to know and love God as revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Mother Theresa wrote this poem which is something that I hope can be said about me at the end of my life.
Ever sustained by profound faith.
Nourished by unceasing prayer.
Fearless in unshakeable hope.
Deeply in love with God.
