Seeing so many people living for to earn money to live a luxurious life just to feel happy.
Seeing so many people living in hallucination of drugs, and abusing themselves.
Seeing so many people living each day as if the only reason is just to feel good.
Have you ever stopped, wondered, why am I alive in this world?
Some of us never try to find the reason but drown ourselves with work and commitments.
Some of us think that doing good is all there is, but never wondered why good is even good.
I wondered. Once upon a time I thought I got the reason. But I never really lived up to the reason. I was not ready to commit. It is a big step for me. I can't see.
It's God's word, the Bible, that transformed me. He knows me. He has been there every step of my life. So, I know and I feel He loves me.
Sometimes I wondered, am I missing out by not going to parties? Then I thought, no, I am only missing out of countless regrets and problems that I will face for sure if I just follow my wants to be a party-goer and attention seeker (By party here, I mean the parties where there are singles trying to hook up for 'relationships' and binge drinking and so much more).
No, I don't feel miss out. I am alive. I am surely grounded in life. I know why I am doing good to others. I know that there is so much more to the world than just myself. I know I am closely linked to the world, not just linked digitally, but socially and physically.
We can be a good person, but we can never be a perfect person. Where does this standard of good'ness' come from? Perhaps that is what you should try to find. I found mine; mine is in His will.
