blogger has been so incredibly unstable tonight... was about to give up except that am stuck anyway at computer trying to sort out Finance project.. panic panic...

very interesting discussion with three friends yesterday - one a newly-born Christian, one an agnostic (who is nonetheless keen on the powers of crystals and yoga) and the last a "true atheist" - at least that's the way she describes herself (but who believes in karma). And what better topic to discuss than "What is the meaning of life?" (which was a great way to share the gospel with our two unbelieving friends - two people who can be considered fairly successful in life but nonetheless have wondered if there is more to this life).

I like the way how this page clearly summarises what a Christian believes in when it comes to the question of "Meaning & Purpose of Life" - A tree does not have to "try" to fulfill its purpose in life. It does what God meant it to do (i.e. provide shade and shelter and fruits) and it has fulfilled what it was destined for in this life. In the same way, only by knowing what the will of our Creator is for us - the blueprint He has planned for us in our earthly existence - can we truely find our meaning in life and the peace that we so desire. And in every step of the way, God will be with us, guiding, empowering and blessing us as we fulfill the purpose of why we were brought into this world.
