Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

To seek out and find the purpose God created you to serve. Only you can serve it. Your purpose is unique. If you don't serve it, the world will suffer in some way.
If you need assistance in finding your specific purpose, read "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It had changed millions of people.

J.P., 42 isn't necessarily the meaning of life; it's just the answer to The Ultimate Question.
The meaning of life is to just live, procreate if you get a chance, and then die.

i really think that the meaning of life is whatever you want it to be. but its a journey that can take a lifetime to achieve. its life experiences that influence what you believe life is. its also not engraved in stone that what you believe to be the meaning of life at 20 is what you believe to be the meaning in life decades later. make it be whatever you wish it to be

There is a book that expains this for you. It is called "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick warren. I am sure that if you read it, you will know what your purpose is. You can find it in your local Christian Book Store.

J.P. - 42 - life has whatever meaning you give to it --- or, if you like, your purpose can be used for purposelessness --- there is no right or wrong answer, and no judgement

Your error is in assuming that life must have any inherent meaning.
