Updated: Nov 4, 2020
Friends, in a world too often filled with bad news, the primary Mission of Discovering A BETTER LIFE MINISTRIES, is in sharing the “Good News” that God, by His grace has enabled men and women to enter into an intimate, personal relationship with our Creator through what Jesus Christ accomplished in His death, burial, and resurrection. This is the wonderful reality that we treasure and enjoy by trusting that it is true
(2 Corinthians 5:17).

What is the Purpose of a Human Being?
Friend, H.L. Mencken once defined a Puritan as someone who lived in constant fear that somewhere, sometime, someone was going to have a good time.
Of course, we know that there was more to the Puritans than the rigid morality with which they have become synonymous. For example, they asked: What is the chief end of man? And the answer they gave was: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.”
Well, it is true that the chief end of human beings is To Glorify God, live with hope and enjoy life! We are to enjoy the Creator and the creation!
Why are you and I here? We are here to enjoy life. We are here for joy. We are here to fulfill your life. Enjoy. Don’t be afraid!
An overflowing universe surges toward the heart of a human being. The human being is afraid of being overwhelmed; he brings in a body of engineers to build a dam. The human being, you see, has populated his interior with anxious little Dutch boys pacing back and forth looking for leaks in the dike.
Joy allows us to break the self barrier. Come up, come out. Life is not a small, stale place of recycled fears and dreams. Open the floodgates of your life. It’s time to enjoy your life. And, no matter how deeply you feel buried by problems, you can fight through it to joy.
A few years back, there was an article in a popular magazine that asked: If your life had one question, would the answer be Yes, or No? Samuel Beckett, one of the two whose answer was given, said, “The answer is No! Life is awful; grimace and bear it.”
Isaac Bashevis Singer, the other, said, "The answer is Yes, life is God’s Novel; help him write it!”
Friend, I too believe the answer is Yes! And the reason I say this, is because I believe there is a joy that thrives right in the midst of the awfulness of life. This joy encompasses all of our experiences, including the negative ones of anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow. There is even a way that suffering is held by delight.
What is the chief end of a human being? To Glorify God, live with hope and enjoy life! The question is, Can you do it?
Friend, if you’re a little down-and-out right now, having a hard time feeling excited about your future, overwhelmed by your pain or your past, I encourage you to write to Discovering A BETTER LIFE for two FREE pamphlets titled “Feeling Good about Yourself” and “You Can’t Be Human Alone."
These two pamphlets will help you to listen to the signals of your life and to discover how much feeling good about yourself can mean for your relationship with others.
