this is gonna be kind long so bear with me (but you get to know the meaning of life later hawhawhawhaw)

okay. what is the meaning of life.
the question probably asked the most often.
so vart the heck's the answer??

in life rite, we're always trying to fill up say, this hole in your heart. you know for sure, once you fill it, your heart is complete, your life's complete, you live a meaningful life. we go to great extents to finding out what fits that hole. we try out billions of different things.
computer games. studies. good job. friends. football.
we think that if we fill our mind and hearts with these things, we will have a complete heart.

now tell me when has computer games ever given you satisfaction in life? sure, it's fun to play with frens for a couple of hours, but the enthusiasm and happiness dies off.

studies. we try so very very very very very very (phew) very hard to get good results, meet your parents and teacher's expectations, get into a good college. but for what? to get a good job sure, but will it give you satisfaction? will more knowledge of medicine, physics, mathematics ever give you peace and joy in life? if you were the smartest guy in the world, the world is your oyster (i still have no idea what that means), you have trillions megajillions of money in the bank, do you feel happy? maybe, maybe. but you will never feel satisfied with what you have. hey! that TV's better than mine, im not satisfied with mine so i'll work hard to get money to buy it! with money, sure you get what you want but nvr what you need essentially. i'll explain that later.

how bout friends? don't they give you a meaning in life? to have fun with them, to hang out, advice them on boys or girls, eat kentucky fried chicken together...doesn't it all give you a great feeling? yea sure, it's great to have frens you can count on. but if you were abruptly cut from them, won't your life be pointless then?

football. man u dundundun. or wtv hundreds of teams you teenagers like nowadays :D. we love sports. we love watching it. we love playing it. we love that great feeling it gives you. but hey once again, its temporary. after 90 minutes it ends, big hoohah on who won and you go back to sleep feeling okay. next day you're back to normal. you don't feel transformed or changed or think that i could have football forever and my life is complete.

SO VART THE HECK IZZIT YOU SO-MANY-THINGS-TO-TYPE-BLOGGER!!?!?!?
well, we try to fill up that hole with so many things that the world has,
but we always, always fail to notice that the hole in out hearts, is God-shaped.

God gives satisfaction. I know, i have experienced it before.
when your friends fail you and are not there for you then what can you do? trust god and he will definitely be there.
when you get bad results and all your peers, teachers, frens, parents look down at you, what can you do? hey look god is there and he's smiling at you and still loves you no matter how many times you fail.

God fills in the void in our hearts.
In this world, very rarely will you find someone who loves you unconditionally, who forever encourages you, nvr leaves you and who thinks you are great the way you are.
But hey guess wat? God is that Person and so so so much more

But wait if God loves me SO SO SO MUCH, why is there so many bad things happening to me and to the people around me?
why does God still allow people to hurt us and insult us if He loves us so much?

Well, my buddy, you see..God loves us so much that he give us a free will. Let's say a parent loves his/her child so much but keeps the child in a cage so that nothing bad will happen to him/her. Is that not wrong? That's what God thought.
He gave us a free will to do whatever we wanted in this world. And he hopes that you will seek him with your free will. But unfortunately, this free will also means we can do bad things. we call it sin.

Sin always has consequences. When you kill someone, you have to face the consequences that the family will chase you down. When you lie, you have to face the consequences when that person finds out the truth. So therefore, we face suffering not because God allowed it, but because he gave us humans a free will and we abused the trust he gave us and did bad things.
Sometimes, these bad things are done to us personally.

But you know what? Even when a person wrongs you, God is forever there to comfort you. He assures us peace and joy if we just trust Him. Heck, He even brings good things through the bad times you have if you just trust him. yes indeed
Say, a friend betrays you and you feel hopeless and lost, if you trust God he will show you the good side of things and help you get through the bad stuff. You'll soon notice that the friend wasnt a good friend anyway. You soon find that you are stronger in perseverance after the incident. You soon find that there are other people who asked if you were okay and had compassion for you. you soon find that they are much better friends.

Aya, you groan, i don't believe in this stuff tht God is there and blahblahblah anyways.
But even if we were wrong in believing there is a God, we still live a meaningful life with Him in our hearts. We still strive to make Him proud of us by doin good things for everyone and yet God still loves us even when we don't.

Would you rather go through a life thinking that every time you fall, there's no one to help you or a life where you think God is forever there to pick you up when you fall and give you hope?

Even if you think it's false hope to believe in some God that doesn't exist, we still have hope in life and rejoice in every day no matter what happens.

To sum it up (phew kinda tired) the void in our hearts is always empty unless we invite God into it. Christians believe God sent his one and only son as Jesus Christ to die for our bitterness and sins so that we can have hope and have eternal life with Him in heaven. If you invite Jesus to your heart, ask for forgiveness of your sins and do everythin he asks, you will have a meaningful life knowing that God is within you.

THEREFORE, the meaning of life, the purpose of us being here is to have a relationship with God and honour him in wtv we do, which includes helping your frens, loving your family and going that extra mile 4 ppl. It also means we have to follow his Word and tell ppl the good news of eternal life :)

and now i gotta do me homework heh heh
