The life that has been assigned to us by God...in an effort to live it up fully most people deviate from the set norms of peaceful coexistence.Why should we not realize that all our merits are those that are bestowed unto us by His wish.

dats d problem, otherwise this planet would have been a fairyland. everyone wants to rise high in life and other problem is that this world is not for gud people. if you try to succeed by following the right path, u lag behind. so u too have to follow the same path which others are following. but still, there are many ppl who are still d same as GOD created dem......!

I'm sorry but I really don't understand the question. Do deep for me, I guess. A christian would have to do alot of studying to understand their existence completely. I didn't understand until I go into reading that I read each night til my eyes were closing on me. God says those who diligently seek shall find. So I started learning quite a bit as He revealed more and more to me as I studied.

I know there are alot of things in life that we question and are hard to understand. I know alot of us question it. I tend to just roll with the flow of things and deal with life as it comes these days. There are just some things we cannot change.

I believe that "all is grace" on earth. Our effort are still graces given to us by God. Without His grace our efforts will be futile. Our life, actions, good desires, words of encouragement for others, etc. are all graces bestowed upon us by God. By thinking about it we will not be high-minded thinking that it's only because of our efforts that's why we became successful. Even success is God's grace. Good day.
