What is the point of your life?

We all come to an end. 

Each of us will experience our Earthly life finishing, however that may come about. 

Isaiah 10:3
'What will you do on the day of punishment, 
in the ruin that will come from afar? 
  To whom will you flee for help, 
and where will you leave your wealth? '

Have you thought about, 'what will you do' on that day? 'To whom will you flee for help?' Who can you rely on? Who will be there? What will it be like? 

That seems like a lot of things to consider, but surely it's worth considering. At the end, what will be the legacy of your life's work? What will you be leaving behind? 
Is what we do now, in this life, of any consequence to what happens after we expire?

We may come to our own conclusions about what is next after this life, is it just a void of emptiness, is there nothing? Or is there something? 

There are many theories, ideas and conclusions that have been reached about what happens after we leave this earthly life. We all need to make up our own mind about what we believe.I'm not going to tell you what to believe, I'd just like to ask you some questions.

If there as life after this one on Earth, then surely, what happens at the end of our lives should influence our current life. If this life has purpose, then we should live like it does and make the most of it. 
So, what are you living for? To leave a legacy? to store up wealth? To become renowned? To build up something of worth on Earth? To build a fortune or a family?

Really, in a few short years this life will be over, the average life expectancy is 71years, that's not so long. All the hard work and striving of this life, what will it of led to? 

What is the point to your life? 

It's an important question to consider, we all have one -  it's what motivates us, what we spend time doing and thinking of. Where are your thoughts, money and energies focussed? 

I cannot give you the answers, these you have to figure out for yourself. Just consider, the time we're alive on Earth is of small importance (an average of 71years) when compare that to the amount of time we're not on the Earth. So, surely we should make this time count for something. 

At the end of your days, when you reach your expriation date, what would your life really of been about? What impression will you be leaving to those around you? Will the purpose of your life do you good in the end?

It's worth considering your views on the 'hereafter' because it lasts longer than the here and now, we're not around on Earth for much longer than we are on it. 



At some point, we all consider, If there really is a God. At the end of your days, If there is, how will you measure up?
