| If you
are reading this, you are a representative of the human dimension
and you wrestle, as we all do, with the great questions of life.
What in the world is life all about anyway? What are we doing
spinning around on this planet at almost 1,100 miles per hour,
tilted at a 23 degree axis? Why aren't we flying off into the
universe? What force is keeping the members of this planet earthbound?
Is gravity really all there is to believe in? Certainly, all
of us have asked ourselves these questions. Most of the human
race are card-carrying members of the "Search for the Meaning
of Life Club." Pondering the questions of the human dilemma
and struggling for the right answers in a world that seems bent
on hiding the truth about the here, the now, and the hereafter
seem common to us all. |

| The fact
is, many do not know why they are here and what they are here
for. They are living a meaningless life, simply existing. What
a sad way to live! There is more to live for than merely satisfying
the physical and even intellectual needs of the body and mind. |
|
| |
| The God
who created you fully expects you to live your life for a higher
purpose than just pleasing yourself. He wants you to glorify
Him. The Bible says these words, "so that with one heart
and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ" (Romans 15:6). |
|
| |
| You are
so important to God that He invites you to have a personal relationship
with Him. The Bible tells us that God has a wonderful purpose
for each and every life. That purpose begins with experiencing
God's love -- and at that moment -- being made into the image
of God's Son, Jesus Christ. Here is how the Bible says it, "And
we know that in all things God works for the good of those who
love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For
those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the
likeness of his Son..." (Romans 8:28-29). You and I were
created to bear the image of Jesus Christ and to make the truth
of God known to all men. |

| When Jesus
was on the earth, He called His disciples to become a part of
an incredible mission. That mission was finding people whose
lives had no meaning -- people who were cut off from God through
sin -- and restoring them to a loving relationship with their
Creator. You have a reason to exist -- a wonderful cosmic purpose
for life -- and you can achieve direction in life by connecting
with Jesus Christ. He will give you a reason to exist -- a significant
purpose for living. |
