Kawei na ki media ba paw khmat ha Ri America kaba la tip kum ka USA Today ka la leh ia kawei ka jingjurip (Survey) da kaba ka kylli ia ki briew ia kawei ka jingkylli kaba sngewtynnad, ka jingkylli kaba ong, “What would you ask God or some other supreme being if you could ask one question?” (Kaei kaba phin kylli ia U Blei na ia kino kino ki jingthaw kiba kham halor ban ia phi lada phi ioh ban kylli kawei ka jingkylli?). Hadien ba ki la pynmih ia ka jubab halor kata ka jingkylli ki shem ba ka jubab kaba nynkong eh kaba ki briew ki la jubab ka long, what is my purpose in life? (Kaei ka jingthmu jong ka jingim ka jong nga?)
Hato phi ruh phi tip kaei ka jingthmu jong ka jingim ka jong phi? Hato phi la ju pyrkhat ia kane ka jingkylli? Ka long kaba donkam ia ngi ba ngin tip kaei ka jingthmu jong ka jingim bad ban ialeh ban im katkum ka jingthmu ka jong U Blei. Don ki briew kiba ong leh aiu ban pyrkhat ia kata ka jingim? Im la ka im kumne shi sngi shi sngi ka la biang, balei ngin pyrkhat ia kata ka jingim ne shaphang ka jingim, U Socrates u pynkynmaw ia ngi u ong, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” (Ka jingim kaba khlem da tynjuh kam long ka jingim kaba shongdor). Ka jingthmu kaba khraw bad kaba kongsan eh ka jong ka jingim ka jong ngi ki briew ka long ban don ka jingiadei bad ka jingiasyllok bad U Blei (Having relationship with God). Ka Bible ka iathuh ia ngi ba U Blei U la thaw ia ngi ha ka dur ka jong U hi, bad ka jingthmu jong U Blei haba U thaw ia ngi ki briew ka long, ba Un ioh ban iasyllok bad u briew. Bad dei kata kaba long ka jingthmu ba kongsan eh jong ngi ki briew haba U Blei u la thaw ia ngi, ban don ka jingiasyllok bad la U Nongthaw. U St. Augustine u ong, “God has made us for Himself and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Him” (U Blei U la pynlong ia ngi na ka bynta jong U bad ka dohnud ka jong ngi kan long kaba khih phaloh lymda ka ioh ia ka jingjahthait ha U Blei). Ka jingim ka jong u briew kan long kumta, kan khih phaloh bad kam nym lah ban shem ia ka jingmut ba shisha lada kam don ka jingiasyllok bad ka jingiadei kaba jan bad U Blei.
U Jisu U la iathuh ha ngi ia ka jingthmu jong kane ka jingim bad u ong, Mathaios 22:37, “U Jisu te U la iathuh ha u, Men ieit ia U Trai Uba U Blei jong me da ka dohnud jong me baroh, bad da ka mynsiem jong me baroh, bad da ka jingmut jong me baroh.” Ka Corrie Ten Boom wat hapdeng ka jingshah lehbein ha ki Nazi ka shem, ba dei tang haba ka don ka jingiadei bad U Blei ba ka ioh ban mad ia ka jingsuk bad ia ka jingthmu ba shisha jong ka jingim bad ka thoh ia kine ki kyntien, “The foundation of our happiness was that we knew ourselves hidden with Christ in God. We could have faith in God’s love—our Rock who is stronger than the deepest darkness.” (Ka nongrim jong ka jingkmen ka jong ngi ka dei haba ngi tip ba ngi rieh ialade bad U Khrist ha U Blei. Ngi lah ban don ka jingngeit ha ka jingieit ka jong U Blei- Uba long U Mawsiang jong ngi Uba kham khlain bor ban kaba jylliew tam jong ka jingdum). Ai namar kata ba ngin sngewthuh ba ka jingthmu hi jong ka jingim ka jong ngi ka long ba ngin don ka jingiadei bad U Blei, ban iasyllok bad U man ka por, bad dei hangta ruh ba ngin sa lah ban ioh ia ka jingkmen wat hapdeng ki jingeh kiba ngi ngi mad.
Jingduwai: - “Ah U Blei, iarap ia nga ba ngan lah ban don ka jingiadei kaba jan bad Me, ba ngan ieit ban iasyllok bad Me namar dei kata kaba Me kwah eh na nga.” - Amen
