I have heard this question numerous times in movies and songs etc. Notice how you don't hear this question from christians so much. I've had good and bad before being born again and after. But jesus does truly fill the void that we all feel before coming to god. I have trouble sleeping at night. As I sit awake while everyone else sleeps, I do kind of feel alone. I sometimes wander whats the point of all the pain and hardships and getting stuff and loosing stuff, the never ending cycle of struggling month to month and doing it all over again, paying bills just to pay them again. Life can be overwelming and depressing. When these moods come on I keep feeling the same answer over and over. All the routine mundane things in life don't mean anything. The bills I paid for this month will be back. I'm human, I will always have a want of some kind. My interest in certain things may come and go. It is in these semi depressing moods that I plainly see. Nothing matters exept god and my family. The joy that the lord brings me. The blessings he has given me. The gift of eternity with god. And my family. My 5 year old daughter for instance. She has wanted ballet slippers for so long. I finally got her a pair today just a few hours before she got to go to a friends birthday party at a dance studio.god enabled me today to fill a want of this precious, innocent little girl. She was so proud, so exited, she held her head down because she couldn't fight back the joy in her little heart and keep from smiling so hard she could cry. Its not something I can put into words. It was a moment given to me by god who knows me better than me. As I saw that pure joy in her it made me think. That is the secret of life, made possible by the loving, glorious god that I love. I can't remember any bad or monotinous detail today but the joy of my little girls pure, god loving heart earlier today stays fresh in my mind. If my mind thought of being depressed tonite, that one little 20 second gift from god today is enough to fight depression, alcholism, or anything. That is my secret of life. God and my family. It maybe different for eveyone but nothing matters exept god and his most precious gifts. Find god and he will unlock the secret of your life. I don't know why I just felt led to share this all day
