God did not create you for trouble and sorrow, but for His glory and your happiness. You were not made to just function, but to live life abundantly. And that can only be, if you are following Jesus. Jesus is the life; without Him there is no living. Jesus is the truth; it is thought knowing God that one is freed from living in bondage. And, He is the way - it is only through Christ Jesus that you will ever achieve ultimate satisfaction in living.
