Find Meaning for Your Life

Life Can Have Meaning!

Do you have anxiety that distances you from others?  Is there a lack of friends or an abundance of critics in your life?  When people try to outshine us, it can cause anxiety or depression because we are being brushed aside.  This is an age-old problem.  If this is happening to you, it may feel like life is becoming pointless and exhausting.

Life is only meaningful when we live with eternity in mind.  We are restless deep down and God can take restlessness away.  A solid Christian conviction helps us to realize this existence isn’t all there is.  People experience the same routine day in and day out, just out of an effort to make a living.  Even though we are all different, we all toil without satisfaction and we need help to endure and to find meaning for the span of our lifetime.  Our significance is found in God and made for His purpose.  Romans 8 tells us all things work together for good and God preserves His children—we are not at the mercy of blind forces nor are we at the mercy of our choices (good or bad) and our circumstances.  He can help us!

Contentment cannot be achieved without God

A peaceful heart is the solution to feeling despair.  Our significance is made in God and for His purpose.  Our satisfaction, when it comes from God rather than other people or things, means His purpose and plans for our lives go well beyond parenting and careers.

When we live with a peaceful heart as a result of our faith, the “same old routine” can take on new meaning and perspective for our lives.

God Caters to Those Who Seek Him

Do you have direction in life—or at least a concept of what you should be doing with your time?  The human experience can be joyful--but it is fleeting.  We search and search for answers but without God, we can never find true peace and happiness.  Being in charge of your destiny is really only an illusion.  However—despair, loneliness, and general unhappiness doesn’t have to be the “status quo” in your life. 

God wants lost souls to find Him.  He brings hope to individuals and to the world—a hope that gives us peace, knowing our lives can be fruitful and full of meaning instead of feeling frustration and confusion.  Know Him, trust Him, and love Him.  There are rewards in Heaven for a solid conviction in the living Christ and demonstrating it to others in how we think and behave.

A New Direction

Will you look back at your life with pleasure or concern?  Once you have gained a solid conviction, you go forward with the security that you will enter Heaven when you die, and with humility that helps you overcome circumstances and find true meaning in your life.  We have confidence in Him and Him alone.
