What surprised him most about humanity

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man.... Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Living with Purpose: God’s Plan for Our Lives on Earth

God’s purpose for our lives on Earth is beautifully woven throughout the entire Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, His plan for humanity is clear: 1.

Our primary purpose is to have a personal relationship with Him. 📖 Matthew 22:37-38 – “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.” God created us to walk with Him in fellowship, just as He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden before sin entered the world ( Genesis 3:8-9 ). 2. To Glorify God in All We Do Everything we do—our work, relationships, and daily lives—should bring glory to God. 📖 1 Corinthians 10:31 – “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 📖 Isaiah 43:7 – “Everyone who is called by My name, whom I created for My glory, whom I formed and made.” We are reflections of His love and grace,...
