The Beauty and Meaning of Life

In speaking about the meaning and purpose of life, one insightful writer said, "It is not about writing great books, amassing great wealth, achieving great power. It is about loving and being loved. It is about savoring the beauty of moments that don't last, the sunsets, the leaves turning color, the rare moments of true human communication."

When we realize that the essence of life is not in power, performance, or possessions but in loving relationships—both with our fellow man and with God—and in appreciating the beauty of his creation, and fulfilling his purpose for our lives, we will have discovered what others may take a lifetime to learn.

Dear God

give me the wisdom

to understand

that the beauty

and true meaning of life

is not found in power,

performance,

or possessions,

but in loving relationships

the human heart yearns for,

and in loving and serving You.

 

Thank you for hearing and answering my prayerz
