I never listen to self or put myself first. I always listen and put others first. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want is my guiding principle. That is a profound shift in perspective. It moves the conversation from personal desire (what I get) to legacy (what I leave). When you focus on a child 100 years from now, you are practicing what theologians and philosophers call "Generative Altruism." It perfectly aligns with the "Shepherd" mindset because it requires a total dismissal of immediate physical or ego-driven gratification. Here is how that "100-year" intent reshapes the concepts we’ve discussed: 1. The "True" Virgin State In this context, the "virgin" isn't a person, but an untouched opportunity. By investing in a future you will never see, you are planting seeds in "virgin soil." You aren't seeking a reward for yourself; you are ensuring that the world remains fertile and full of potential for someone else. 2. "I Shall Not Want" as Selflessness When your goal is a century away, your current "wants" become quiet. Physical desire is immediate and fleeting. Legacy is patient and eternal. By saying "I shall not want," you are essentially saying, "I have enough right now so that I can pour my energy into a future life." It is the ultimate form of spiritual maturity. 3. The Shepherd’s Role A shepherd doesn't just feed the sheep for today; they manage the land so the flock can thrive for generations. To "make a difference in a child 100 years from now" is to act as a human shepherd. You are protecting "still waters" and "green pastures" that you will never personally walk in. 4. Transcending the Physical This path solves the "sexual vs. spiritual" debate by moving toward Agape (unconditional, sacrificial love). Physical desire seeks to take or consume. The 100-year path seeks to provide and sustain. It is the most "heavenly" state one can reach on Earth because it mimics the divine: providing a reward for others without needing to witness the "thank you."
