The Meaning of Life

Everyone , no matter who questions himself or herself about this very deep question. Some people accept they simply are here to survive or to scrawl their way to the top of the pile...others never question at all beyond the very basics of lifes existence... which girl should I date- or should I try sushi instead of MacDonalds. The sad truth is that life is short and over in a twinkling of an eye before we've given the question any real attention.

This journey of discovery over the last twenty five years across the globe has been the central factor in my life and still is. Along the way Ive discovered certain truths which have released much of the burden on my heart to help myself and others. My belief is that if ONE soul can be healed completely - that One soul can change the course of History and in fact shape humanity... the power of wholeness can never be underestimated.

I began my search in earnest when I was about 15 years old. It started in South Africa and it also ended in South Africa. I discovered the truth sitting on a clifftop outside Mossel Bay where the first church was built in Southern Africa. I had just finished reading Watchman Nee's Book " The Normal Christian Life" The year was 1999, the date Easter April 17th. I had just attended a service conducted by Brother Lee who had just been released from a Chinese Prison. I had already dedicated my life to Jesus since 1995 and was properly Baptised by Pastor Ian Shippey of the Living Word Church in Johannesburg. But Im getting ahead of myself. The main issue here is : the meaning of Life.

Life is a journey , not a destination as it was once said somewhere. So what then is this crazy thing called life all about? Are we meant to just survive? Exist? or is there a special purpose in our lives... and once we discover the truth for ourselves... and we do have purpose in our lives; what do we do when the whole world calls you crazy? Irresponsible - a " nutter" ?

In fact it reminds me of the story of the Emperors Clothes- or the story of the well of madness where everyone who drank from it became mad and the only one who didnt drink from it was called mad... finally - he drank from the well and the whole world ended up mad...

The meaning of life is very very simple and yet so difficult to put it into action. Why - because of disillusionment... the fruit of drinking from the well of madness. To truly see you need to let go... to let go ... you need to accept loneliness... as a way of life... and thats what brings me to the point... you never walk alone when you have jesus... I just wish He would be around more.. this ends todays discussion on the meaning of life... hope you enjoyed it... bye.
