You ever found yourself inquiring what life is all about? Is it about the money, the things we can buy with such money, the people we can impress with the things we choose to buy with said money? Maybe it is about accomplishments, you know such as: graduating, getting recognized for outstanding work in our careers, or that self satisfying moment parents receive when looking at their child growing into a responsible adult. What is life? Is it finally reaching that dream you have had since a toddler? What is life? Because if life being defined was all of these things, why are we still not fulfilled once those are scratched off of our "to do list?"
Life is beyond us. Yeah, it is great to give back. In fact, The Bible urges us to do so, but that is not what I am getting at. When I say life is beyond us, I mean life is beyond what our human minds can comprehend. To find the true definition of life, we must find The Life Giver, God. Jesus said, I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life" in John 14:6. Jesus sacrificed His Life in Heaven temporarily to then sacrifice His life as the son of man, for the lives of mankind, and His Life was resurrected through the power of The Holy Spirit to show us that we too can live. Live in the sense of being dead in our sins and being renewed in Christ. People always wish for a second chance at life. Well, what better opportunity than the one that was publicly displayed on The Cross to live again. Not only can we live again, but forever. Christians don't die but once because like Jesus that same Spirit is with us to guide us to Heaven- The Place of Life Everlasting.
So, what is life? Life is Jesus. Life is fulfilling when our steps are directed by The Director. The script has already been written. We just have to play our role. Life is enjoyable. It is meant to be enjoyed. God made us to be happy. Don't think so? Why do you think getting overly sad or angry can cause health or mental problems like depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, insomnia, stroke, and heart attacks? I have an answer because our bodies are not wired to handle but just a smidge of anger and sadness while the rest bathe in happiness. Examine your life. What is life for you? Are you fulfilled? Are you happy? Are you in Christ? Need a second chance? Go get your life. The life He created specifically for you and find out YOUR own definition of life. Our common definition is Jesus, but individually there is a life waiting just for us.
