God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time. God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for m and experience the joy of s presence every day The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives‐but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness.
But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12) But God has another way for us— It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness.
Not only that, but s path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross.
On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask m to come into your life. Then ask m to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to the Bible, to shape your life every day [email protected].
It is not odd at all--and you may not like what I have to say. But here goes--I feel like I did when I was in college--yet I turned 50 last month! My dad died 10 yrs ago and my mom has Alzheimers now for 5 years--and doesn't even know me.
I guess what I want to say is that aging is something we have no control over---so make the most of the time you have with someone. May sound funny--but I have a very well-loved little dog, who turned 12. I don't even think of the time when he won't be here anymore--I just enjoy each day.It's all I can do.
Instead of thinking about the meaning of life , and in your family issues , try to live a little bit . You are depress because you are just thinking about life . Do what you love and love what you do .
This is the key . Enjoy the life .
No its not odd to think about this. I have thought tons of these questions as well like what was here before space and all that! But wouldn't you rather live then die?
I mean think about all the poor children in Russia, Africa and other. Some of them would rather die. If you didn't work then you would end up in a homeless centre with no money and tons of debt and then you feel like your life has been wasted.
Serious family issues must be hard. I have not experienced it but I can imagine what it must be like. You just have to live with it and do the best in school, university or college so you can leave home with a job.
Just try to think positively and focus on the good things and how lucky you are! I hope I helped =P.
At various stages in life the issue of aging and death seems to loom very large. For me, my 30's were very hard. As a mom, I worried about dying and not being there for my kids.
I worried about something horrible happening to my kids and them dying. My mom was 42 when she died, so my 42nd year was consumed with that worry. I will be 60 next month.
I have lupus with organ involvement which means I have a higher chance of dying early than the average bear. I am also a church musician and I play for a lot of funerals. The truth is, we all die.
The next part of that truth is we need to be here, now, living fully with those we love. We can't waste any precious time worrying about "what if" because when we do, we are letting that worry steal our time with our loved ones. You cannot influence what will or will not happen.
The only moment any of us has is now. You get to make choices now. One of those choices is to get out of your head and be fully present.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
