you should live to bring glory to God who gave you life and share His love the world.
it is neither to just exist or just fulfill your own sense of "fun"
sometimes you will be miserable but if you have God's love in your heart, you will have joy in your heart no matter if you are beaten or rejected by the world because you should live life for a higher calling and a higher purpose.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Ok say life is like Dads (God) one big puzzle set, we are all the pieces no matter how you feel about your life now your existence or piece is nessary for the puzzle to be whole and you yourself are a whole with the puzzle and apart from it, cause to be honest we are all completed and important in our fathers eyes thats why he has created you the way you are, God doesnt make any mistakes and the things you do tht u think are mistakes are really what define you as a piece

Hi Petals 
, I think that from our perspective as Christians, the primary purpose in life should be to please God, everything you do to please God in an act of worship. When we worship, our goal should be to please God, not ourselves. Worship is not for you. It is for God. Of course, worship has its benefits, but do not worship to give us a taste. Our motive should be to glorify our Creator and please him or please him.
[h=3]Psalm 147:11
"the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love"
[/h]Psalm 149:4
"For the Lord takes delight in his people"
I hope my answer has been helpful.
Blessings!

Its all about the idea of having fun God doing the work of god is fun. Ever hit the street and preach? Fellowship with brothers and sisters? Ministry to the unbelieving? They are great fun. As a young adult I'm working on changing my path. I still go out and have fun but in a eternal sense. Why is drinking a good thing? I still go to the Bar and talk with some of my unbelieving friends I've already planted the seed in them and working on planting many more. Just look at your definition of fun and if its for the glory of god.
I disagree arial82
Mainly because I have seen people try live that way and they ended up giving up on god . I believe it is best to wake up in the morning thank god for another day and live without attracting to much attention. It is alright to marvel in gods works but don't go barging about how great god is u will be exiled trust me people will think ur nuts. Just do the best u can and thank god for what he has done for u. Enjoy the little things in life and go with the flow. That is how i live and it kinda works im still finding my way though
