Gudmrng all u wondafull family @ frends. A GUIDE FOR NEW BELIEVERS by JOHN D. BECKETT THE MEANING OF LIFE How do I find meaning in life? People define the meaning of life in many ways. Wealth. Power. Status. Possessions. As alluring as these may be, people who achieve them are seldom satisfied. Often it’s not until our later years that the realization fully sinks in, that nothing exceeds the value of our relationships. I am one of those people who has been able to achieve much in life. Most would view me as very “successful.” Yet my greatest treasures by far are my relationships—with my wonderful wife Wendy, our children, grandchildren and close friends—and with the Lord Jesus. For a moment, let’s focus on that very special bond with the Lord. Even when we are denied the intimate relationships of marriage, family and friends, there is One who will always, without fail, be our friend. By the time Billy Graham was in his 90s, he had lost his wife Ruth and many close acquaintances through death. But he always had a friend in Jesus, stating, “It is the greatest discovery you will ever make: You were created to know God and be His friend forever. This is a staggering truth. Think of it. The infinite, all-powerful holy God of the universe wants to be your friend. He wants you to know Him personally.” Take a moment now to let this profound reality sink in, for in it, you touch the very meaning of life: you were created to be God’s friend. KEY VERSE: “I no longer call you servants… but friends” (John 15:15). Hope u all have a nice day.
