How do I find
meaning in life?According to the statistics over one billion people visit the Internet eachday. Of these, at
least a million are searching for answers to the deeperquestions of life. Beckett says that fortunately, the Bible helps us to understand thatlife's
meaning is rooted in a unique friendship. He tell that Billy Graham says, Itis the greatest discovery you will ever make: You were created to know God andbe His
friend forever (TheJourney, p. 23).John Beckett also says the key to understanding how you can be God'sfriend is to know you were created with more than a body, mind and soul. Youwere created with a spirit. Your human spirit was awakened when you were bornagain, enabling you to communicate directly with God and have fellowship withHim. The Apostle Paul says we "received the spirit of adoption bywhom we cry out, ' Abba, Father'" (Romans 8:15). "Abba"literally means "Daddy."The heart of every person deeply longs for true friendship. Think aboutyour best friends and how important those relationships are. Even though friends on this earth may come and go, in God you have afriend Who will be there forever. Graham says further: "This is a staggering truth. Think ofit. The infinite, all-powerful holy God of the universe wants to be yourfriend! He wants you to know him personally. He wants you to know He is withyou. He wants to comfort you when you are upset or anxious. He wants to guideyou when you face difficult decisions, and He even wants to correct you whenyou are about to do something foolish or wrong" (p. 31).For finalizing he tells that you were created to beGod's friend. This reflects the enormous heart of your wonderful Lord!
