The meaning of life has so many different meanings for each and every person... I think about it like this, non Christians are just living their life to please themselves and try to look good... I mean it's not that I don't like to look good, because I do! It's just that our life can't revolve around, making ourselves look good. As Christians we need to make sure that we're glorifying God all the time. We should not try to make ourselves look awesome, but allow God to be lifted up. Every time we do something that gains praise we need to point up to God and give Him the glory - because that's where the glory belongs.
Think about it God made us (we obviously didn't make ourselves) and He loved us so much that He gave his one and only son to save us from our sins. All of the people on the earth do not even compare to His son Jesus, but yet He gave up His son to pay the ultimate price for a sin He didn't even commit. That is the largest example of true love that I have ever heard of, to think that He would do that for us.
What life means to me is living to our full potential, by doing what God has planned for each and every one of our lives. Don't back down if God has shown you something He wanted you to do. It might be difficult but still do it, because Jesus didn't say I don't want to this, so I’ll just let everyone on earth die because they're the ones who sinned. Um, no we are so blessed that he didn't choose to do that.
God put us on this earth for a purpose; He didn't just stick you on the earth and say, “go play”. No, He has a divine plan for each and every one of our lives, everyday we need to pray, “Oh God please show me your will”. I challenge you to consider what you're revolving your life around, and if it's the right thing to put your focus on - great. If not think about what is most important in your life and see if that's what it should be...
I struggle with keeping God as my priority at times, so I know how hard it is to get caught up in life’s busy schedule. Above all make sure that your priority is God. I also challenge you to pray for God to give you guidance and ask Him to show you His will for your life... God bless you
