I’ve discovered the meaning of life, well, a while ago I did, but I’ve just now realized that I know it. The meaning of life is to do what we were created to do. I remember a few years ago I didn’t know what I was here for. All the questions… Who am I? What am I going to do? Why am I here? No one seemed to have an answer, not even “the church”, or “Christians”. I say both of those in quotes because it was the church and Christians who brought me where I am today, but it was only God who let me know what the meaning of life is. Each person’s life is different, everyone has different abilities, different talents, and different personalities, and most of all, and we all have different experiences which make us who we are.
We were created for some very specific tasks, but we make the choice to fulfill these tasks, otherwise how would it be genuine meaning? We were created to worship God, which is to acknowledge God’s work in everything we do. We were created to serve others, to do what we can (and even beyond what we think we can) to meet the needs, and go beyond the needs of others. We were created to live for eternity, forever, we were meant for so much more, but we make the choice, once again our God loves us so much, he has let us free to do what we want, to love, or ignore God. Because we have the choice, it is our duty (if we have made the choice to live for eternity) to at least let others know they have the same choice (not make them choose, just let them know) through Jesus Christ. We are meant to live in the family of God, to discuss, serve, be served, learn, and teach to and from others who have made the choice to follow God. We are meant to live as Jesus did, we are meant to always be reflecting his life, his ministry, and his love to others.
This is the meaning of life. Everything else which falls under these basic principles will only bring great love and joy into your life, it has for me.
