Excerpts from Spiritual Guidance for Daily Life
First excerpt: “Communication in Marriage”
Why are we here on this earth? What is our ultimate purpose? How do we respond to the fact that we are created for a certain purpose? I would say in a nutshell that solid foundation means for believers to say, okay I am a resultant being. God gave me this life and I want to do the best I can with this life, so I need to know what God expects from me as a human being. The answer is somewhat simple, but probably takes a lot of effort to accomplish. Our ultimate purpose is that we bring joy to God through our love for God. That realization of joy is the ultimate purpose of life.
If I just make a simple analogy, I can be joyful about something which resembles me the most, right? If I have joy about a little stone, then I experience limited joy. If I see a bird, it’s already a little bit more. If I see another human being and I say, wow there’s someone who reflects my whole being; I have so much more common communication, common foundation for joy to develop. We call the ultimate joy we have as human beings, the marital loving relationship. Love, in its highest expression of relationships, is the ultimate purpose of our lives. And that love should be centered on God’s purpose. It’s that presence of God in our loving relationship.
