Meaning of Life


I've previously blogged about life with a purpose, but I never said what that purpose was. I say it now for all to hear {or read}; it is to GLORIFY GOD.
Everyone always says that the meaning of life is some huge mystery. No, it's not! We were created by God for God. Sure He created the angels too, but they don't have free will. That's what makes us His masterpiece. That's why we must choose Him. Think about it; If you created something, wouldn't you want it to love you out of free will? That's why He wants us so much. That's why we must glorify God, because we should want to (not have to) and that's why we were created. It's our purpose. It's our meaning.

If I'm wrong about God, what do I risk? Spending my life believing in little things like faith, hope, and true unconditional love? ... What do you risk if you're wrong? How about spending eternity without those things!

6 Impossible Things

The Alice character {in the 2010 "Alice in Wonderland" Disney movie} mentions being so imaginative that she and her father could think of six impossible things before breakfast.

Here's my Six Impossible Things:
1.) I can and will love my enemies.
2.) I put my faith in a God that I cannot see.
3.) I will praise God in the storm and thank Him for it.
4.) The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
5.) God created everything in six days with nothing but His voice.
6.) The Gospel is true.

Even though these are impossible by today's worldviews, I still believe.
