What is your reason to live?

Ekstasis said:
My reason for living is because I enjoy life. I wake up in the morning and say "what a wonderful day".
My other reason is my lovely daughter. Most important though, is that I can tell as many people as I can about Jesus Christ and His love for us ('cause there's still time).

And there we go... :whistle:
 
Hmm haven't thought about this before...

I think weirdly that the prospect of someday finding someone whom I 'love' is quite a motivator... but at times can be quite depressing.
 
I had my reasons as well, be it work and family and had that change in an instant. It was truly interesting to find your whole foundation pulled from under you.
The true question is, if that what you live for, gets ripped away in an instant, where will you find strength to go on.
 
your reason for living is based on your fear of death.

once someone holds a loaded 9mil next to your head you'll quickly learn why you want to continue living.

The fear of NOT living.

What about the millions of people that "self terminate"?
That fear of not living is based on a reason to live for is it not?

I dont have any religion.
Have never had a girlfriend in my life.
Don't have any family alive (Trust me its like in none, nada, zip)
All my friends are in other countries. Hell I even work for an international firm.

I was just wondering seeing that most people have either 1 or all 4 as their reasons to live, if you where in my shoes what would be your reason to get up in the morning?

Death is not an option or you would not be asking these questions. Go go sit in a botanical garden, bite into a fresh apple and enjoy the moment. You will have many more of them.

i was reading specifically to find a post like this one :D

its awesome to be able to tell other people that your main reason to live is, to live for/in Christ! no matter what people say or do, stick to your believe and go all out for Jesus! you wont regret it ;) our time is almost up (speaking about the Bride of Christ)... make sure you don't stay behind ;) be blessed
 
This is going to sound glib, but I like life.
I want to do, see and experience what life has to offer.
I want to live!

Relax dude, if the Romans didn't invent Christianity sooo many people today would not have had a reason to live.
Besides allot of morals(like love thy neighbor as thyself) handed down via Christianity, is what created civilization as we know it, but that discussions is for another thread. Here we just looking for a reason to live ;)

If everyone is living for someone else, then noone is living for themselves.

ED::I live to make my mark, that is the most important reason
