Quotes about Existence

Life is a luminous pause between two great mysteries, which themselves are one.

If God chooses and doles out his care, we are always insecure and unsure whether we are among the lucky recipients. But once we become aware of the generous, creative Presence that exists in all things natural, we can receive it as the inner Source of all dignity and worthiness. Dignity is not doled out to the worthy. It grounds the inherent worthiness of things in their very nature and existence.

Only presence can know presence. And our real presence can know Real Presence.

You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for! If I handed you an invention you had never seen before, you wouldn't know it's purpose, and the invention itself wouldn't be able to tell you either. Only the creator or the owner's manual could reveal it's purpose.

Without God's glory, there would be nothing.

Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye...

You cannot arrive at your life's purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with God, your Creator. You exist only because God wills that you exist. You were made by God and for God — and until you understand that, life will never make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.

Point to Ponder: If there were no God, and everything was a result of random chance, there would be no purpose to your life. It all starts with God.

Without God life makes no sense.

God did not need to create you, but he chose to create you for his own enjoyment. You exist for his benefit, his glory, his purpose, and his delight.

We are human beings, not human doings.

If you're alive, there's a purpose for your life.
