It is wonderful that everyone reaches an age of maturity where he or she becomes responsible for making big decisions. Being placed in this spot can be really exciting or possibly not that alarming for someone who possesses a lot of grit. I think the issue some people fail to address or meditate upon is their personal beliefs. I remember awhile back, someone told me that he was only living life for himself. It's really sort of a surprise that selfishness hasn't really generated happiness for him. God does love us so much that he inspired the greatest missionary Paul to give us this advise:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (KJV, Philippians 4:8)
I see this post has a way of questioning life philosophically. It may seem like a waste of time to read, in that being caught in the moment, one would need to raise money or go do something he or she likes. I personally recall being locked up in the flesh and keeping to myself to the point of having no friends to comfort me. This may be strange to bring up, but I think the Holy Spirit of the Bible really has an effect even on unbelievers. Acts 1:8 states
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost [Holy Spirit] is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (KJV)
The Holy Spirit in a nutshell gives all believers the power to love unbelievers. It may not seem like they love you, sometimes because everyone falls under the thread of sin. This doesn't mean that God's Words contradict a Christian's life. The Bible is a non-conforming, God-breathed book (2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 12:2) that inspires a noble and repenting life (Matthew 3:2).
