What is the purpose of life?

Question

What do we do?

-with broken hearts? Why couldnt God of made unbreakable hearts?

-with our careers? When we dont really know what exactly we want to do? But need something to do.

-Ever feel like you lived this day over and over and are going nowhere?

-Why are we here? Do you wonder if you are the only one who feels these things?

-If God showed you your entire life written out for you, what would you do? Change it? Keep it?

-What is the point of life? Do you think that one single person has died and has been reborn over and over and has eventually been every single person on this planet? (basically, the same person is all around us. You)

-Is there life on other planets? And not Tom cruises planet...lol.

I need answers to life.........Please! Drivin me nuts lately.

And why does God give us someone to spend our lives with and then they leave us? Why do we have to deal with the pain? And raise a child on our own? There has to be more to life than this..much more.

Is it wrong for me to not like my life? Is God angry at me for some things i've done in my past? Is that why he makes me suffer and hurt like this? I've apologized time and time and keep reading the bible trying to find answers but the life is getting worse. Why do i have to be on His **** list? I am trying to do good for him but i've had a few screw ups in my life but i'm trying to do better.

Answer 1

Whatever you make of it...

Answer 2

i can feel u r pain. i wondered what is it all for, y am i here to do,etc. the answer is, we are here to serve God and bring glory to Him. we do that be first being saved(born again), then with our new life we can do sooo much. broken hearts make people stronger, this can teach us so much of life and help us mature. 2 find the right career, life-partner, place 2 live, u name it--u pray, God will show u what 2 do.we all get into a rut, life is the same day in and day out nothing seems 2 ever change or get better. i'm there now! but, i no that God is good and nos the best for me and in HIS time things will get better. i have found that these times come to us to help us learn, teach us lessons so we can do better the next time. i used 2 feel alone, like no 1 understood me or my problems, but the older i got the more i realized that a whole lot of people felt the same way. if God showed me the life i have led i would change almost everything, if He showed me the life He had planned for me, well, how could i change that?!!i don't believe in reincarnation. God makes us completely unique individuals, 1 of a kind.there could be life on other planets, why not, but God placed man on earth, to do His good will. God allows each of us to make our own choices in life. people come, people go--instead of wondering y, y not learn from the experience and become a better person because this has happened? is that not a better way 2 go? i think u r probably young. u have a loooong way 2 go. just pray about everything, even the little details and wait 4 God 2 show u the way?!!! i hope this helps-it's what i was told when i was very young and it has gotten me this far! God is NOT punishing u, i think He is mostly giving u time 2 turn things around. God doesn't do bad things 2 us,but He does ALLOW bad things to happen. this is how we grow and mature in the Lord. u keep praying and asking forgiveness. He DOES hear u. maybe He is just trying 2 see if u really mean it. your persistents will pay off-in His time. don't give up u are sooo close!!!!

Answer 3

I've asked myself most of those same questions, and most people do sometimes. Yes, my heart has been broken too, and even though it doesn't feel like it at the time, it does heal, and you do become stronger because of it. If God showed you your whole life most of us would change the painful parts, but that's the reason He doesn't show us. We would miss out on those times that really do make us stronger and better for it. I guess that is part of the point of life. God is molding us to become the person we were meant to be. It's been said, and it's true that there's always someone who has things worse than we do. Find the things that you are thankful for, and thank God for them every day. It will get better, I promise. God does have a purpose for your life, and mine too. I have read The Purpose Driven Life, and I highly recommend it. My purpose is becoming clearer to me, and yours will too. I care, and I'm praying for you. Contact me if you need to talk.

Answer 4

We are here to perfect our souls and go back home. We are also here to do good by others. Yes we do reincarnate. Some more that others. And yes there is life on other planets. Look up the Gnostic religion. Sylvia Browne has a church that she started called Novus Spiritus. We are here to survive life. So just hold on and we will all graduate one day. God Bless

Answer 5

This life is like a school.

You know you have to send you children to school to learn.
You send them, even though you know there are going to be bullies there and playground equipment that they will get hurt on. Why do we do this? We love them, want the best for them,
(and here is the key) want them to have everything that we have.

We know that through their own challenges and experiences will provide the best wisdom, and therefore we consent to send them.
We hope and expect that they will return back from school to us, IF THEY FOLLOW OUR DIRECTIVE. i.e. stay away from bullies, stay on the sidewalk and crosswalks, be careful of the slippery slide.

God does not have a ****list.
Would you with your own children?
He is aware of our actions, deeds and intent......
BOTH FOR GOOD AND EVIL.
So yes, you may have had slip ups, but don't we all.
Your heart is in the right place and He see's that, and awaits your plea for help and guidance, but cannot intervene until we have exhausted all we can do.

Keep strong!

Answer 6

nobody is born on this earth with a purpose. though we say that god has sent us to this earth with a purpose. because we do not know what is the purpose of god. so, after being born we have to find a purpose to live,. otherwise the life becomes meaningless. we have to set a goal for ourselves & lead our life to reach the goal. ofcourse there will be obstacles on the way. we have to overcome all the obstcles to reach our goal. broken heart is also an obstacle. we have to mend it . the pain is like thorns on the path. we have to remove it .raise a child on your own. if u were not ready for it what was the purpose of giving birth to it ? was it not your fault ?don't try to find answers for eveything. if we were able find answers for all the questions we would have bocome gods. just have a set goal in your life & try to reach it inspite of all the difficulties u face. that is full life.

Answer 7

The purpose of life is to love and serve God so that we may spend eternity with him in the next life. There will inevitably be pain (lossed partener) especially if we live for our carreer or anyone else except God. Loving your neighbor is a good thing, but you can't put anybody above God.

Answer 8

The meaning of life is to live! All these experiences, good and bad, shape who we are or will become. What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger! And God never gives us more than we can handle! Search for the answers in the bible, preferably the New Testament.

Answer 9

I do not know your religion, but I am Christian. A book that helped me get on track was called the Purpose Driven Life. It's a wonderful book to have and it explains different things to do when it seems like God has forgotten about us amongst many other things. One important thing that helps me out when things aren't going my way is to remember that Thy will be done...not your own. So, regardless if you want something done your way, the Lord will have His way with you (and honey, let me tell you, if He wants you to have it, you will get it). There's a saying in the Bible that I can't remember but it sort of goes: God puts things in your life to test you, and He takes them away to bring you closer to Him. We have a stingy, and jealous God, and He loves to be reminded of who He is in your life. Remember that God always has been and always will be right there in the middle of your situations - even when it seems like you can't hear/see Him working in your life. God Bless you, and Praise God so that you may live life more abundantly.

Take care ;)

Answer 10

Eternity is much more than this life. Eternity never ends.
The Purpose Driven Life is a book that I think you would really enjoy reading. I think it would help you a lot. Also, the Bible will help you with whatever issues you may face in your life.

Answer 11

The purpose of life is that the universe is becoming self-aware through the consciousness of sentient beings. Just a theory. The purpose *in* life? To learn and to have fun. Everything else, you're just wasting your time.
