I knew that there was a bigger picture or a bigger purpose for my life than I was seeing.
When I looked at my parents who seemed to have a purpose for living each day, I felt empty inside because I didn't have that same focus.
Then, I discovered that life wasn't about me at all. Life was about Jesus, the one who not only created me but died for me.
From that time on, I realized that Jesus created me for a purpose.
There a times when I want to focus on me all of the time. Then, I remember that Jesus was the one who created me (he gave me this life) and He also died for me so that I could have eternal life. It makes me WANT to live for Him.
I know that if I were to die today, I would go to heaven to live the rest of my life forever with Jesus. He has given me a "forever life" and I am going to live it to the max.
