Purpose of [your] life

To understand the purpose of [your] life we have to start at the beginning of your life.

You were created and shaped to be a human being by a Creator (also known as God)

He created you so that the 2 of you can have a relationship, spend time together, learn & create new things and simply enjoy life together.

Your purpose/part in this relationship:

• Live a balanced & healthy life (Eat, drink, stay active, do good and always remember to take breaks & rest when needed).

  • The Creator God wants you to live & thrive as opposed to just survive.

• Learn to love & appreciate everything about the Creator and what He has accomplished (Even though you can't see Him face to face yet).

• Learn to love & appreciate your brothers & sisters that He created to be by your side and support you in life.

• Keep learning new things everyday so that you can apply them & make life even more enjoyable for everyone.

  • This includes reading the handbooks & notes Creator God provided e.g. The Bible and other highly respected ancient texts & manuscripts, passed down from our ancestors i.e., previous generations [Those that have walked before us on Earth from whom we can learn and that can help us avoid making the same mistakes as they did i.e., sets up the next generation for success].

• Grow up to become an adult physically, mentally & spiritually:

  • You start off with drinking milk in each category, but then move on to other liquids, then cereal, then vegetables & fruit and for some of us meat (but meat is optional - just make sure you get in some form of protein).

  • You also start to shuffle, then crawl, then walk, then run in each category - this can become exhausting & scary at times but extremely important in order to be productive and make a difference in the adult world on Earth, not to mention Heaven (more on this later).

  • You also first start off with just being, then smiling & briefly connecting with others, then move on to babbling and eventually mumbling a few words until you eventually master the art of talking, communicating & expressing yourself fluently in each category.

  • As you mature and become more aware & open about your own shortcomings, brokenness, failures BUT also strengths & gifts and reach out more and share more with others - you start to experience life in a much deeper, intense & fulfilling way in each category - but now you've reached a point where you become a whole person. 

• Once you've lived your full life & mastered these skills on Earth - you will be upgraded to the next level, referred to as Heaven, where you will finally meet your Creator face to face.

  • What is Heaven? Glad you asked :)

    • God describes it best:

      • The place where we finally get to meet Him (our Creator God) face to face and deepen our relationship with Him even more.

      • There will be complete healing & restoration:

        • "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. " - The Bible (God's words & thoughts revealed to us) - Revelations 21:4 

        • "For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please Him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. - The Bible (God's words & thoughts revealed to us) - 2 Corinthians, verse 5 to 6.

• • • • • Jesus (God's Son) also made the following reference to Heaven: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” - The Bible (God's words & thoughts revealed to us) - John 14, verse 1-4.

        • It is the place where we get to leave our Earth[ly] home, via the door, with our Dad & Creator God - to not only see what He has been working on & up to lately BUT also to help Him (now that we are adults with knowledge & some training) - by working side by side on the BIG projects out there with Him, in the Universe & beyond :) 

• This is not a game or a joke, but serious business and we have a lot to learn - including, learning how to have fun doing it. :)

• Don't worry, you've got this - Enjoy the journey & the ride! Just remember to buckle up and fasten your seat belt, since there will be some turbulence (including pain & suffering: Pain & Suffering - Why?).

Will let you ponder the big picture that was painted above, while you listen to the words of the following song (if you want):

Also want to encourage you to watch the Lorax movie

• It might seem like a kid's movie at first - but there are some profound life lessons in there, presented in a fun, energetic & illuminating way

  • The producers know that the parents/grandparents are the ones ending up taking their kids to the movies :)
