Question

I m trying so hard but refuse to change my life and move on again...

I feel my life will just repeat the pattern of one abuse after another again and again....

And what is the purpose of my life? what is life? why others so much enjoy life and everything, why I can not??

Sorry i wrote a lot those words again.


Answer
Iuth,

God has created man to have a relationship with Him that will bring Glory and honor the the name of Christ Jesus, God's only begotten son. No one can do that apart from trusting in His Son. Your life, as well as everyone else's life, has troubles. Scripture indicates that those troubles come for different reasons. Sometimes it is because of a moral failure on our part, but not always. Sometimes God is wanting to show His great power and love to you or to someone else that knows you. Either way, God is trying to use every situation to make His name great upon the Earth. He wants to do that through your life also.

Why do others appear to be happy? Sometimes it is because they are putting on a mask to cover their true feelings. Sometimes it is because they have come to trust in Christ, and know that He is able to take even the worst situations and bring glory to Himself through that situation. When our desires are to see God glorified instead of having a desire for ourselves, we are able to have that peace and joy that God gives.

I hope this has been helpful. Please rate the answer at allexperts.com when given the opportunity.

With Love In Christ,
