ECCLESIASTES 1: 1-14, 12:8
In this life, all is vanity. The treasures of this world are here today,tomorrow they are gone. Even our physical bodies are useless. Why? This is because one day it is healthy,jovial and attractive, the next its sickly or even no more(dead). recently, a very handsome young man passed away. he was one guy you would just stare at and keep smiling, appreciating God's work, his physical body was very attractive BUT here comes the sad part,his inner man was not as attractive, or rather beautiful. he was so much overtaken by his physical attractiveness that he forgot about his inner self. it is sad to accept that he took his life, he lost meaning in life because everything under the sun is vanity. BUT if he sort meaning from the creator of all, it would be a totally different case. ONLY THE CREATOR OF ALL GIVES MEANING WHEN ALL SEEMS OR FEELS MEANINGLESS. If the young man sort meaning from his creator, he would get to know that, even though these bodies are like flowers (one day they are fresh, the next they are withered), His creator says that:1. we are wonderfully and fearfully made (Psalm 139:14)
2. we are all children of God (Gal 3:26)
And many other encouraging words that we should lean on whenever we feel down.
It is acceptable to feel tired and frustrated with life. Even job, jeremiah and david are just some of those men of God who found their lives meaningless at some point, but they did not give up. (Psalm 13:2-4), (Jeremiah 20:14-18), (Job 7:15-16).
To conclude all this, it is only the creator of all who gives meaning to life. It saddens my soul to know that a soul passed away without accepting its creator because it will not spend eternity beholding His beauty-the giver of all beauty and all beautiful things. Rather, it will spend eternity in hell:(((....
Let's not take away our own lives because in the first place, we did not give it to ourselves.
Ecc 7:17
Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
