What is the meaning of life?
How can purpose, fulfillment, and satisfaction in life be found?
In a world of broken relationships, one of the greatest fears imaginable is the fear of being alone.
“What if they don’t like me?” we ask. Or “What if they see me for who I really am and then they leave?”
How can we ever hope to be brought back into right relationships?

What are we living for?
Where do I find happiness?
Everyone wants to know what they are living for. Everyone wants to live a happy life without any stress or worries. Interestingly, when pursuing happiness, not many people remember what the brevity of life is all about, i.e. you can be here today, and gone tomorrow! Here are 5 biblical reminders on the brevity of life.
Psalm 90:12
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (NIV).”
- This verse is a reminder that life does not last forever, and as such, people should use their days wisely, thus gaining a heart of wisdom.
James 4:14
“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (NIV).”
- What a stark reminder that life is not guaranteed – all the more reason to live life wisely within the time that the Creator gives!
Hebrews 9:27
“Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment… (NIV).”
- Everyone is going to die at some point, and then face the judgment of God. Life should be lived with eternity in mind.
Psalm 144:4
“They are like a breath;their days are like a fleeting shadow (NIV).”
- With just one breath, life ends. As the shadows pass quickly over an open field as the wind blows the clouds away, so are the days of man. Make the most of your life while you are here.
Psalm 103:15-16
“The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone,and its place remembers it no more (NIV).”
- Man’s life blooms like a beautiful flower in a field, and within seconds, a gust of wind blows it away and it is gone. Life is beautiful, but it does not last forever.
6 Bible Verses to Help Discover the Purpose and Meaning in Life
Read each verses slowly and carefully. This is God’s word to you. Reflect on what God is saying to you in each verse.
Genesis 1.1 – In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Ecclesiastes 1.1 – “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”
Ecclesiastes 6.12 – For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
John 10.10 – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 14.7 – Jesus answered “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”
Matthew 6.33 – But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
HAVE QUESTIONS? NEED SUPPORT?
Why am I here? What is life all about? What is the meaning of life? How we answer these big-picture questions is important so we can live with hope and a sense of purpose in times of uncertainty, pain, and frustration.

I am 18year old girl ,this December I will turn 19 still don’t know what life holds for me in future ;where will it take me may be good …or may be bad as Jesus said -I am the way just believing god and living my life .Cause I have seen sometimes it feels like why is god doing this to me ,what are my sins but immediately the situation turn like really god is protecting you from all the things in your life .
I have just read that the problem with 19 th century is they didn’t accept the reality easily , our generation are like accepting the reality and are like the strongest generation.
yeah ,it’s true that crimes are happening more in this generation .But it’s natural if their is good their must have some bad things also ,but accepting it is the greatest thing in itself.
Tbh I am really very very sad cause I am rejected from my dream university but just calming down that whatever god has planned for me is better than this sure !!
So please don’t be depress or sad in any kind of situation just accept all the things on your way like celebrating success also when u are failure , etc
Just remember everyday sun rise and set with different background which means everyday you will rise with the zeal of learning new things and will end the day with new experiences for sure may be it of your business or may not be of your business .
you belong to God so your life is in the hand of God, give your life to Jesus for you were created by Him and for Him. He commanded us to love God with all our hearts matt 22;37. His spirit will come inside you and will teach you all things…but even if you still do not know everything just love Him for one day he will reveal himself to you.
Amen.

hi
appreciate Snehasmita i am 15 years and i do not understand the meaning of life all i know is just that i should try to waste my life
Hi there, you dont need to understand everything about the meaning of Life. It is a big platform to understand which cant be comprehented with just a page. However, the interesting part is we have Bible the only Living source, our duty is to read his living word and duly obey what is tought to us, in such manner you will understand how beautiful life is and your days will be filled with Joy despites of all the doubts, fustrations, worries, failures and all the negatives which we all face everyday.Our focus is on God not on something that is produced by different agendas that carries no meaning at all. Thank You.
Thanks for your wonderful teaching may GOD bless you. I realise now that my is meaningful, if i continue to believe in GOD.
Hi I 18th year old girl my life with you so much but I like to god tenko so much and God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏bless
