My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Who is greater to live for than the one and only Jesus Christ? He is the one that died for our sins, the one that created everything living and nonliving on Earth, the ruler of all. His death allowed forgiveness for the sins of everyone on Earth. Why not give Him thanks by living for Him? Not allowing Him to be the ruler of your life is asking to spend an eternity in the fiery pits of hell. I enjoy summer heat as much as the next guy but spending an eternity in it is not something on my to-do list. In order to avoid that final destination, I allow the Lord to govern every aspect of my life, which should, in turn, grant access to Heaven. Living for the Lord is definitely a route that should be taken by everyone no matter what their circumstances are. If one has nothing to live for, why not choose to live on the path of righteousness? The path of righteousness consists of living without guilt or sin and adhering to moral principles. One must walk with the Lord in every step that is taken and live in the image of Him. This means changing sinful ways, praying more often than usual, and doing the work of the Lord. It may sound tough but there is a great outcome of it in the end and almost 100% of the time life is virtuous with Him by your side. Often, people tend to have a fear of not being accepted by Him because of all of their wrong doing but nevertheless, He is a very forgiving Lord “The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;” (Daniel 9:9). Everyone is His child whether they are a sinner or not and He would never let any of His children down. Once one allows him or her to join their self on the path to righteousness, nothing can stand in their way. Of course, there will be challenges thrown at them but it is only a test of their faith from the Lord. He would never set one of His children up for something that he or she could

    What is life for human beings ? Is a life of mere existence worth living? Is that what we want? Or do we want to be just like McCandless and actually live life to the fullest by taking chances to discover our deeper selves. I'm not saying we should all go do something that we want to and go die. What I'm saying is that life is…

    Everyday we sacrifice for the betterment of our character even though we may not realize it. The things we give up characterize who we are and what we value on the inside. It's not hard to decide what you feel like your life should be about. What's hard, is figuring out what you're willing to give up in order to show people the things you really care about.…

    “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:22 (NKJV). I heard the question asked last night. “What rewards your life?” The answer was; to deeply appreciate those, who love you by loving them back. That’s what life is all about. You can ruin your life by desensitizing yourself. We are all afraid to say too much, feel too deeply, to let people know just how much they mean to us. But not God, in fact, we find in this verse how much He loves us. Many of us have a mental picture of what a Christian should be. Yet many of us don’t make ourselves vulnerable enough to fully narrow all our interests until our mind, heart, and body are completely focused and looking at…

    Nothing about life is easy; you work, you try, and sometimes you fail regardless of your efforts.Some people believe in reincarnation, others in some form of an afterlife, and some believe you only have one life. Believing that you’re only able to live one life could benefit the person because they take that idea and they accept it. In that acceptance they choose to live everyday as if it were there last, so that by their last breath they can say they had a good life, even with the many struggles and heartache. Most people live with the belief that we only have one life; although life is a gift with endless possibilities, it's…

    Implying this quote thru religion and my own personal experience, as I interpret it means that in our life we think what we have is really valuable. Base on religion it is human nature to think we know what’s good for us but the truth is God knows what’s ”Best” for us. How can he fill up our cup if it’s still full? God knows and want what’s best for us but in order for him to give this to us we must first surrender ourselves completely to him and let him have control of our life. As John chapter 3 verse 16 – 17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Having said this in my own experience, what I thought was of value was being cool by and going to parties and cutting classes. But these actions had serious consequences that I didn’t think of at that…

    Some people would not agree with this quote saying that they would rather lie so save life and live another day then stand up for what they believe in and die today. They believe that if you are most likely going to die for standing up for something then its not worth standing up for. It’s those people that will realize later on in life that their life has little purpose and that they don’t feel complete and happy like they thought they would, the lying didn’t really save them at all, because that lie made the rest of their life miserable and not really worth living, now they have to live with the guilt from that lie. Why would somebody want to live life with no purpose because they lied to save and regret it later, then stand up for what you believe in and find that purpose in life because you know it is the right thing to do.…

    People have different perspectives on how is life worth living. For me, there are many things that make my life worth living. Life offers many challenges but through the love that I receive from my family and friends I become strong enough to face them. Love that I can receive as I live is what makes my life worth living. The opportunity to receive and share it to others really makes my life worth living. Happy moments that I spend with my loved ones also make my life worth living. They help me create good memories as I continuously live. Another one is the chance to improve myself as an individual and to have a purpose on other’s life. As I explore my potentialities, it’s worth living to have an impact on other’s life. It’s like knowing that if I leave this world, I’ll be remember by those people which I have left an impact. And life is worth living because it lets us experience failures and attain success. Failures strengthen us to face the struggles and obstacles that we will encounter while success makes room for more improvement to be an individual worthy to be called as successful.…

    For me, life becomes worth living because of “growing”. Life wouldn’t really make sense if I wouldn’t grow. That is, not in the physical sense, but more of the moral, spiritual and social part of it. I learn and I improve every day, and that makes me very happy. I become nicer and grow stronger in faith. I also gain new friends! All of these make my life worth living. But there’s more! “Creating”, gives it worth as well. Writing, drawing, painting and even inventing makes life even more beautiful! Creating gives my life color. Creating my own musical and literary compositions, drawings, paintings, ideas and dreams pave my way to a great life. A great life is lived also because of “helping”. It is not enough to just create; I have to also share my creations with others for the good of the community and the greater glory of God. Sharing my creations might inspire others, and help myself too as I become open to see the happiness of others. “Realizing” is another thing that makes life worth living. Life isn’t about being right all the time. Having a good life doesn’t mean that you’ve got to be perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. And in these mistakes, we realize…

    When someone looks at life they should be looking at it with meaning. A life with no meaning is about as sad as something can be. A person going through life without seeing a purpose is like a stagnate puddle of water evaporating slowly through life. When finding meaning in life it is possible to find a false sense of happiness. People…
