Purpose of Life

Is it too late to discover your purpose in life now?  I discovered the meaning of life when encountered Jesus.  During my childhood years, I often had chance to sit in my father or brother's car to travel around.  There were times where we went to far away places like Malaysia, so the journey is extremely long.  The feeling was no good.  I did not feel well sitting in car most of the time.  Sitting in the car, I often looked out of the window and I love to see trees, different sort of trees and plants.  When the car stopped, I would look down, bend my head down on the car seat and I would think of questions.  

I wondered what is the meaning of life -- why parents give birth to children and then children grow up to become adults, married and then the life cycle continue.  I thought why there must be sufferings where the parents died and the children are so sad.  The life cycle of birth, death and sufferings continue like that.  Children crying over the death of parents.  In some cases parents crying over the lost of their premature death of their children.  

I finally came to the realization in the year 2008 where my questions seemed to be answered.  Our lives on earth is to know God as God serve as our parent on earth.  By knowing Him, our burden can be lighten when we shared them with Him.  By turning to Him, we are not walking alone.  Finally, there is someone we can commune to when we needed help.  By our Faith, there is a HOPE.  Hope that on the last day when breathe our last, we will finally able to meet our departed loved ones.  Though we cannot see them after they died, but we know that they still exist.  And it will be everlasting life with God.  

All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.… ~ Matthew 11:27-29
