1Tim4:12-14

While I was hearing this song, I was thinking of the "meaning of life" for many people. A popular phrase came to my mind as well: Life Sucks, and then you die. I am not sure where, when and from whom I heard it from, or maybe I read it somewhere... This phrase may or may not describe your life at this moment. For me, it´s this precise phrase that "sucks". It´s pessimistic, it´s depressing, it, well, it sucks. It reminds me also of people that have looked for happiness, for ways to be better everyday (which is good), people who may have read a lot of self-improvement books, that are forever busy trying to have at least a "durable" happiness (let´s not even talk about long-lasting happiness with something or someone) but at the end are still sad and empty. Maybe they´ve forgotten nothing on this world can fill that void in their hearts. Maybe they have been searching in the wrong places. Maybe they have relied on their own human strength. Maybe they are even thinking they haven´t reached that "happiness level" and still wake up everyday and keep trying. Maybe they´ve forgotten there is a God, all powerful, all Mighty, capable of anything and able to comfort you in your darkest hours and able to lift you up when you are down, keep you going no matter what. Maybe they´ve forgotten (on purpose, or too distracted and busy by all things the world´s offering) that there is only one Creator of all things visible and invisible that can fill your need for happiness. Or maybe they´ve gone to church or tried to "look and search for God" but what they "saw or say they saw" on these places where there was supposed to be "better people" or "people who made it" (found God, that is) was a bunch of "nice hypocrites". Well, maybe or maybe not. But, anyway, your life doesn´t have to suck. You don´t have to just live and then die. Your life can have a meaning. Your life and happiness need not (and cannot) be dependent on other persons. Your life should have a purpose. Your life should be in need of God and his faithful promises ... May God bless you and may your life from now on, doesn´t suck :)
