What do I really want for this life?

I once asked a friend this question: "What do you really want for this life?" Is it to be happy? Is it to be loved? Is it to be number one in your area of expertise? Is it to be good at everything, or at least at something?

We are living in the post-modern society, where people only embrace what they think is good and satisfying for them, so as long is good and is satisfying, everything don't really matter anymore.

As for me, I can't even answer that question - even when I have enough money, good career, nice place to live, family to love and everything that I possess will still not sufficient enough to answer the question. For in the deepest of my heart I know those stuff cannot be my ultimate things to have in this life.

So, I should be asking to myself this instead "What does God really want in my life?" - is to glorify Him and to enjoy Him forever. By writing this article doesn't mean I will always glorify and enjoy Him everyday, there will be times where I won''t glorify Him at all or times when I feel more satisfying to soak in earthly things rather than God. Oh, how we desperately need You, to keep us in You.
