FOUR LIFE
QUESTIONS
It
does not take a rocket scientist to look across our landscape and see many
emotionally unhealthy people today. Whether
it is the endless parade of angry, bitter people highlighted on the latest
afternoon talk show, the increasing rate of aberrant sexual behavior, or the
systematic disintegration of the family, it is obvious that we are a nation with
many unhealthy, insecure people. Can
this be changed? Absolutely.
However, it will not be through government programs, through scholastic
education, or even economic revitalization.
It will come one individual at a time.
Each person must discover the answer to these four questions.
These are simple questions, but will influence every relationship a
person has.
Four
Questions Every Person On Earth Wants Answered
 |
DO
I MATTER?
- Derivatives of this
question are asked cosmically with questions like, “Am I an accident?”
“Was I Created?” What does the World have to say about the origin of man? That
we came from a pool of cosmic sludge, that we jumped out, jumped back in,
jumped back out, grew legs, became a monkey and that we were on our way to
becoming a man. We have been
told we were some cosmic accident. There
is no design or purpose for us here. What
does God's Word Say? That man
is an intentional creation of God. I
praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14

|
AM
I LOVED?
- One of the greatest desire mankind want to know is a simple question of,
“Am I loved?” This question
can be asked in ways such as, “Am I of Value?” or “Am I
Appreciated?” The Bible tells us that God loves and values each of us.
But
God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
|
|
WHY
AM I HERE?
- “What is my Purpose in Life?” “Can
I Make A Difference?” Have you discover why God made you the way He did?
He designed you with a specific purpose in mind.
Have you determined God’s Purpose for your life?
"For
I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
|
|
IS
THERE HOPE FOR ME?
- Once a person has determined that they matter to their Creator, that
they are loved by that Creator, and that their Creator has a wonderful plan
for their life, they want to know if they can change to fit that Plan.
What was cannot be changed . . . What will be is determined by the
choices we make today. There is
hope! Never forget that there
is hope! Therefore,
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:17
|
Parents,
do your children know that they matter, are loved, and have purpose?
Employers, do your employees know they matter, are of value, and have
purpose to you and your company? When
a person cannot answer these questions . . . they will not be able to maintain a
balanced, healthy life.
