Why Am I Here?

Hey, Awesome Teen,

Last week we discussed the first of the three great questions of life: Who am I?  We learned that we are creatures made in the image of God and that we have great value and worth. If you missed last week’s post, you can find it here.


Today we’re going to discuss the second This week, we'll look at the second great question of life: Why am I here?

 Have you ever wondered why you are on this earth? Have you ever felt that you just happened by chance and that your appearance on earth is random? If so, let me show you the truth.

 In Psalm 139: 16 God says that the days of your life were all prepared by Him before you ever lived a single day of them. Do you realize what that means? It means that God created you for a specific purpose and He planned out that purpose even before you were born! Is that amazing or what!

 So, the truth is that you are here for a special purpose. What is that purpose?

 To discover your purpose, you will need to get to know Jesus Christ. Why? Because He created you and He knows the purpose for which He created you. As a result, He will lead you into that purpose.

 So to discover why you are here, discover Jesus Christ. If you already know Him, ask Him what your purpose is. If you don’t already know Him, pray this simple prayer:

 Lord Jesus, I want to get to know You. Come into my life. I receive You as my Savior and Lord. Show me the purpose for which You created me. Amen.

 If you prayed this prayer, please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com to let me know. I will send you a little booklet that will help you get to know Jesus better.  You may also leave a comment in the box below.

 Do you have any questions or comments about Life Question Two? If so, please share your thoughts in the comment box below. Thanks! :)

Who Am I?

Hey, Awesome Teen,

 Do you know the answer to life’s three greatest questions?  Before you can know the answer, you must know the questions. :)


Life’s three greatest questions are:

 1) SSo, what are the three greatest questions of life? Here they are:

1) Who am I?

 2) Why am I here?

 3) Where am I going?

 Once you have the answers to these three critically important questions figured out, you will be able to figure out the answer to almost every other question you will ever face in life.

 Our next three blog posts will cover each of these questions, so be sure not to miss a single one.

 Okay. Question Number One:  Who am I?

 Answering this question is the foundation for answering the other two questions. So, who are you?

 If you studied evolution in school, you may think you are a creature that has evolved from an amoeba or an ape.  If this is what you believe, how does that belief make you feel about yourself? 

 You may also believe that you just happened. That your birth was the result of random chance. That you are an accident.

 How does that make you feel?

 Now let’s look at the correct answer to Question One:  Who are you?  You will find that answer in Psalm 139: 13-18.  Let’s take a look. 
You [GOD] made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in my mother’s womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it. You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in Your book! How precious it is, Lord, to realize that You are thinking about me constantly!  I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me. And when I waken in the morning, You are still thinking of me! (Brackets mine).

 WOW and DOUBLE WOW!!! Read through the above passage again. What do you notice?

 1) God made you!  You are NOT an accident. Even if your parents didn’t want you, God did!

 2) God made you complex.  That’s the reason you sometimes can’t figure yourself out. But God can. :)

 3) God saw you before you were born and He scheduled each day of your life BEFORE you began to breathe!  Now how’s that for a plan!  Yes, you are a very important part of God’s plan. So important that He scheduled your days and trusted that you would cooperate with His schedule for you--in other words, with His plan for you.

 4) God keeps a book about you.  Yes, just about you!  Do you feel special yet?

 5) God is constantly thinking about you. Talk about love! Is there a special someone you think about a lot? Well, God thinks about you even more! He thinks about you ALL the time.

 Now, how do you feel about the true answer to Question One? Please share your thoughts in the comment box below.
