A Blessed Human Life.

this is part of the portions that i find rather amusing. i finished up this book in a day's time. i know some of you might think i'm getting crazy. but heck, i'm a firm believer in Christ. And i'm proud to declare i am in the Lord's Recovery. =D judge me not by my look, the way i dress nor the way i talk.and on top of that i do admit i do curse and swear. but lets not talk about this. As for now, i would like to share with you all something regarding this book that i read. Seriously speaking, i never tried preaching gospel to any of my friends, be it my current coursemates, ex classmates nor schoolmates. Don't ask me why. But to respect others' beliefs as to say. and i first gave out a small booklet about 'Local Churches' to a friend just so that this friend could understand more about my church and i was hoping that he coulf get the answers of his questions there inside the booklet.

As for the below abstract, it is up to you to believe nor not to believe, to accept nor not to accept. The choice is yours as i only have the intention to share with you all these. Pls Don't find it offensive in any way.

pg 54-55: The goal of human life.
The top human life is a life that takes this way of the Lord. This way matches the purpose of God's creation of man and also meets the requirements of the revelations in the Bible. What kind of life can satisfy us? Is it a life that makes a lot of money? Is it a life that obtains a high position? What is the most valuable thing in our life? To put it bluntly, nothing is valuable. Human life in the world is no more than merely a matter of food, clothing, and marriage. How valuable are these things? A person studies, labours, and strives in order to receive a high education, obtain a good job, and have a good future; yet in the end when he dies, he has nothing. We are on this earth not without a goal. We are not here merely to take in food, to put on clothes, and to get married. Rather, we have a positive goal. Suppose we take the way of the world to become a prominent scholar oe even a president of a university. What then? Every one of us will die and be buried, and when that day comes, we cannot take anything with us, not even one dollar or one diploma. However, if we take the way of the Lord, even if the Lord delays His return and we 'fall asllep,' when we meet the Lord we will have boldness because we are not empty-handed; we bring with us those whom we have led to salvation.

Many times, i find myself wondering about the future and wandering in my doubts and thoughts on what shall i do after i graduate later in the future. What the brother has mentioned in the book was right. Sometimes we just couldn't get enough of what we want. We might have achieved something huge, yet at the same time, when we die, we die and there's nothing we could bring. "Vanities in vanity.'

Has anyone of you really ever wonder the existence of human beings?
How and why human existed?

Perhaps, you could try calling upon the Lord Jesus's name.

Pls note that i am in a good state of mind and i am not going insane. l0L.

Ok, sorry for flooding ure blog with comments, but overnight work has left me lifeless. And bored.

Nice paragraph about life you quoted there. I agree with most things, save a few. Life is but a journey. Its not the material things that are important, its the experiences and emotions that are part of it :)
