Life is Hard

Life is so depressing don't you think?

You are born, you grow up, you grow old, hopefully find someone you love, get married, hopefully have kids, and then you die. And your kids leave you.

It feels utterly depressing when you think about having your spouse die earlier than you at like around 40 or something.

Then you'll spend the remaining 20 years living in utter loneliness while your kids grow up and have their own life.

I think it's such a depressing thought. So meaningless. There's nothing to look forward to.

Until I thought about the purpose of being here on earth.

When you think about Christ, everything else just seem to fade away. Like there's this hope. Like it doesn't matter if your kids leave you or your spouse dies early, because you know you'll never be totally alone. There's also this confirmed hope of an eternal after life without pain or tears or sadness, and it just makes life worth living.

I can't imagine a life without Christ, really. Without Him, it seems purposeless. All the work you do, the money you earn, for what? Some people don't think about it, but I think they should. When you really think about it, it seems so empty.

It's so hard to be obedient. And trying just won't make the cut. You have to do it.

Sigh. I hope we make the cut. Really.
