Life needs to have purpose for it to feel truly worth
living. No one wants the epitaph on
their tombstone merely to read: “Used up oxygen, took up space.” The longer we live,
the more we sense a need to live a life beyond ourselves. Perhaps Horace Mann,
the brilliant politician and
noted educator, captured this yearning best when he said, “Be
ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.”
Human beings were created with a divine hankering for a
mission greater than themselves, a calling that helps broken people traverse
this life through the good news of salvation and gives them hope for the
future. In fulfilling this mission, we find a deep inner peace with God and
ourselves.
