What is our purpose in life?
I just read about this guy who died at Iraq, was around my age. I was thinking here I am worrying about things that I'm sure I won't be bringing with me to heaven.
/*****/
During camp I asked my group this question "What is your purpose in life?" Like most people I would also say that I want to live a happy life. Get a degree, earn money, raise a family, retire happy...Then after that what else?
When I visit the cemetery, sometimes I go see the tombstones. Not much to learn from them except their name, date of birth and date of death. Sometimes I try to picture how their lives went. If one died by 80 then yeah maybe he lived a full life. Or if one lived by 20, hey maybe he got into an accident. Age won't tell you the quality of one's life.
So back to the question "What is your purpose in life?". I recall during our Youth Fellowship days, our pastor taught us the Westminister Cathecism The first question posed is "What is the purpose of man?" The ans: To glorify and enjoy God.
I had an idea on what it was trying to say but lately i was reading this book and grasp the idea of it. Just think about this "Does God need to be glorified?", "If the whole world withheld its praise to God would it make Him less of a God?"
God is already glorified. No matter what we do we do not add or subtract His Glory.

I couldn't sleep the other day. I was wondering where you are?
