Stability in Chaos

John
October 17, 2011

I used to wonder about the purpose of my life, and what purpose there was to a life if once a person dies, there was nothing left - no breath, no love, no thoughts. I would have terrible feelings of uselessness and loneliness. Why is there life if there is nothing after this time on earth.



I wrestled with this constantly, and the struggle grew and grew the older I became. Then, when someone talked to me about this plan of eternal life, everything fell into place. Of course I had to think and process all of these new thoughts. But eventually, after much study, discussion and contemplation, it all made sense. I now had a true solid foundation with which to build an understanding of my existence and purpose.



Now I'm glad I know that I have eternal life because I'm accepted and loved just as I am. I know there is a purpose to my existence and most everything that I see going on in the world seems to make sense to me.



On a day-to-day basis, throughout my life since I received eternal life, just knowing that the King of the Universe loves me, gives me a satisfying calmness and stability.



This stability that I have, knowing that I have eternal life, allows me to function in a chaotic world. It also allows me to more easily help and love others that need re-assurance and stability.
