I am a part of that 89% of people in the UK who feels this way, no idea of God has ever been a part of my life. I've spent a lot of time recently looking for purpose. Strange coincidence for this to be recommended to me...
Imagine what if 89% of people in the UK MADE the decision to have a higher purpose in life...better person, better family, better community,better economy,better government,better international relations,better spirituality...
He’s been with you the whole time, waiting for you to come home. Read Luke 15: 11-32 and that will accurately describe God’s love for you. I’ll be praying for you!
My morning started rough. Sad, sad thoughts. I put on some holy water, prayed a bit and got distracted. Then this video gets published today, awesome… divine providence knows what we need.
All my life I was always there to take care of my family. Took care of my father when my mother died at an early age. Took care of my siblings, nephews & nieces. I knew that was my purpose. I was confused if that is the only purpose of my life then came this special person who is now my husband…..and yes I am taking care of him up to now & I pray to stay that way. As I felt this is my happiness …meeting him & being married to my soulmate, I was very contented and full of joy but then few years later I was diagnosed with cancer. It was my lowest point in my life….but to be honest, it has open my mind and heart to a better purpose ( though it took time to realise everything ) and that is to serve God and the church. Until now I am in this cancer journey but I am taking it as the real reason why I am still alive….to fulfil my duty in this state of life…to offer everything up throughout my day my pain and anguish as a sacrifice united to Jesus’ passion. Please pray for me. I know i still have a purpose & I thank God despite of this struggle. Prayer - Use me God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself. Amen
Jackie and Bobby, you two radiate with calmness, joy and hope and it’s so soothing to see and hear you talk. I pray that more married couples discover their fatherly and motherly spirit and work to embody it as beautifully as you do 🙏🏻 Please say one Glory be for me and my soon-to-be wife that we may together grow in holiness. God bless you!
I pray that it was my son you witnessed to. I miss him so much. Our mental health community has utterly let us down. They’ve become corrupted by the world of sin and up is down and down is up. Pray for all those with mental illness and for mentally and morally healthy people to help them.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Sometimes when the going gets tough, it’s always useful to remember that there is some meaning behind it all and that God still loves us, despite it all (or because of it all).
Thankyou both for this message. Popped up just when that is how I feel. Without real purpose. Ask you to pray for all who are feeling like this. Blessings🙏
Great message. A while back I came across a video that claimed life has no meaning (it may have even been titled that way, I don't recall). Anyway, I watched this half-hour or so video and it was basically Nihilism wrapped in New Age rhetoric with a bit of cosmology sprinkled in. The premise was everything is random so don't worry about anything because control is an illusion, etc. etc. I found it to be ridiculous on its face. My question was; why would anything that didn't serve some purpose even exist? But what disheartened me was the thousands of comments thanking this video developer for pointing out that life is essentially meaningless, that in some odd way they felt better having this dark idea affirmed. I know there may be people who will take exception to my comments/beliefs on the matter but where they see the logic in a random universe I see it as illogical. I did find the story of the Holocaust survivor instructional. I heard a similar story on a WWII documentary from a Japanese POW camp survivor. He said he could tell when people were going to die because they just gave up. A few hours later they would find their bodies. They subsided on the same meager rations but the difference in this gentleman's mind was he never gave up and he knew he needed to survive because there was more to his life than that prison camp. Faith can achieve amazing things. I met two men who survived the Bataan Death March and they both mentioned their faith and determination as key to their survival. I have been in dark places myself so I can relate. But to anyone feeling that way, my advice is patience and trust in God. It can work wonders. Great video, great topic. Thanks for posting.
God bless :D EDIT: Great video! And good call re: professional counseling/therapy if needed. Been Catholic my whole life, but recently faced some difficulty with balancing work and life. Just thought I'd jump in with some more advice--I highly recommend finding a counseling center that has a Christian-focus, if one is available. May God's love be with you all :D
The best channel I’ve found this year is without a doubt, Ascension Presents. I’ve learned so much from this channel. I can’t thank the people on this channel enough for literally transforming me and sharing their beautiful messages. Love love love.
Greetings Mr.& Mrs.Bob, Thanks for The message about Motivating One's Own Self through Teachings and Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. My Thoughts : As a Prodigal for more than Past couple of decades, I once again find solace in Heavenly Father,Our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit through repentance and Prayers. With regards with Prayers, RanjithJoseph (R.J)
I don't think it is coincidental that the whole "New Age" mentality venerates dysfunction, and at the same time offers "solutions." Great work from the Ascension team.
So good she is getting counseling before marriage 💗 I believe many (or perhaps all) couples should do same & prevent many issues including separation/divorce 😓
Just Prayed for her 4/6/22 9:16 EST. I prayed for your fiancé to be free from shame and guilt, I also asked that God would help extinguish all painful memories and events from her recollection, for Him to help you learn how to best comfort her in her suffering, and for her to have a new found sense of peace and clean mental state for her wedding day. God speed!
Read Frankels, Man's Search For Meaning, it's a powerfulfull book, and I think important. Maybe now as much as ever. I was trying to Remenber the book. Thanks Bobby. Mary, Mediatrix of Grace, Bless and Keep you and your family.
I’m always nervous talking to people about my faith. Like I’ve been burned by people in the past too for professing faith in something and don’t want to talk to them because they are so hard hearted, they don’t want to hear my suggestions, my encouragement, or my testimony. They don’t want to listen to anything that doesn’t conform to their world view. If that is how they want it, they can burn for all I care.
This is the most god-less generation in history, not even the pagan era had this many atheist. This age of technology has us more disconnected, more self-absorbed, and further away from God than ever and thus more lost and sad. There are more young children entering the world who haven't even heard the name of our savior Jesus Christ, than in the last 2,000 years. We are practically back in the Sodom times. Pray heavily for conversion of sinners, pray every day for God to strengthen your faith, and if you have littles do not let them grow up without fighting for their salvation, we all know the devil wants them in his charge. Lord protect us.
I do suspect that sin (the normal, day to day kind) leads to depression and anxiety. I have noticed it in me and in the persons around me. I also suspect confessing regularly will help your soul more than going to therapy.
I bought Man's Search for Meaning. Regarding therapy, I have heard a couple times people mention a “Catholic therapist,” which perhaps is an important distinction. There are so many considerations aside from just recommending a therapist. For example, some people are poor and cannot afford a therapist. In line with what Jackie was saying about the Happiness Advantage/positive psychology affirming aspects of the Catholic ethic, giving to the poor may produce more happiness in individuals than receiving therapy, which can actually have bad results depending on the circumstances, and is in accord with Catholic Social Teaching, and so on. I could write a lot on this and other topics. Is there a way to contact Jackie and Bobby? Thank you. By the way, Steve Martin studied philosophy in college. When he received the Mark Twain Award, Martin Short quipped that this was appropriate as people in the audience were at that moment asking, “Why am I here?” 😊 God bless.
Been telling my friends to reject nihilism and apathy because apathy is death. Worse then death! At least a dead corpse feeds the maggots and beasts. -Kotr 2.
God already knows the outcome of all things. God created eveything in the heavens and the world and everything of the world for Himself and given His creatures freewill because He wanted friends who could think for themselves and decide for themselves to be His friends. I would guess before creation God was lonely. As for our purpose in the short time we are given in this world in which a lifetime to us is not even a blink of an eye for God. Our time here is basically a test of our friendship with God. Those who endure until the end of their time in this world enjoy the company of God and the other saints in Heaven forever. As for those who reject friendship with God well God gives them what they want separation from God forever. And there are those who weren't always good friends to God but they tried God gives them time away from Him until they are ready to be with Him forever.

What is the point of life?🤔 From a sort of secular skeptics point of view, I'm not sure if life in general has a point. When I ask myself "why does it matter that I'm experiencing life currently?" This is a question directed necessarily to whomever my life matters to. So, myself, as I enjoy living💁 my friends and family👫👬👪, who enjoy my company...most of the time😂 sometimes im a pain i know. But what it boils down to how my existence enriches, enhances, brightens, im giving myself a lot of credit here, but overall positively impacts other entities to whom my existence matters. So maybe there is some godly mind who had a specific purpose for me and all this incalculable cosmos, to whom my existence matters most of all, but absent my current conviction of this you wonderful people are reason enough for me😉 Remember to give someone a hug today🤗
The reason nihilism is prevalent in modern society is because our political system demands citizens to find purpose in the system either by producing or consuming, devoting your life for a higher purpose is the demise of the system aka the world. Please if I'm wrong I'd like to know thank you.
Thank You for this message. - A good looking vibrant young practicing Catholic couple with the surname Angel? Is this a Saturday Night Live Sketch? You guys ain't from the ghetto are ya? Just joking (this is how we joke in Australia. We poke fun) Peace and Heavenly Blessings.
Revelation, 21:8 - But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
Can you go a little deeper on this? I get that heaven will be what life was supposed to be. So then, what’s the point of our current lives here on this earth?
I guess the current point of our lives here on earth is separation from God due to sin. Nothing unclean can enter heaven. All have sinned and fallen short the glory of God. Life here is a trial. We are on the earth to get to know God. The point is, God gives us free will. Receive Jesus in your heart and then you will truly see God.
@@ernestlovesguitar but, even before Christ. If heaven is so great, why send us here in the first place? I am a believer, so my question is not meant to be a debate. I just have always wondered; our goal is to get to heaven, so where did we all originate from? If our souls were in heaven, why make us live life on earth?
@@GiaBlinks yes I totally understand where you're coming from...I've thought about that too..I feel if God didn't intend to send us to earth and that we were supposed to live in heaven with him...then there would be no reason for him to create this earth...and if the earth didn't exist humans wouldn't have existed and ultimately there would have been no Jesus...and if there was no Jesus you would never truly understand the love of God... that is why I believe that the whole reason for the existence of this earth and the existence of mankind was because of Jesus and his death on the cross..that is why when we die we will be better than the Angels in heaven 😄😄
NO! Thats Protestant behavior (to go and beating religion into peoples head) nobody wants to hear that all day. As Catholics we dont go around harrasing people about it. Imagine a sad person telling you something and you say: “Well your a child of God”. Rather than maybe just listening and thats it? Sometimes being quit and simply listening helps. Rather than saying pointless vague statements.
I understand the sentiment behind this video, but when you only work 9-5 everyday for five days a week, ad infinitum with nothing to look forward to (Jesus being there or not) it becomes pointless again.
The question is pointless. The only reason why we ask it is because our frontal lobe is slightly bigger allowing us better intentional thinking useful for tools. This opened up a new ecological niche. So just because we evolved to be such intentional thinking animals, we start searching for intention in everything, even in us. A hammer is just a stick with a stone just like humans are just cells. The hammer gets its meaning via humans. In the same way, humans give themselves meaning.

I've come to the realization that the meaning of life is CREATION. If we don't create, all ceases to exist.
But what do we actually create. We only use what has already been created. What do you mean?
@@iishadowgamesii6738 it starts with life, and branches out from there
It’s easy to know you have meaning and person but I rarely feel like my life has purpose
To know God to love God and serve God in this life so as to be with Him in eternity in the next.

What is the point of life?🤔
From a sort of secular skeptics point of view, I'm not sure if life in general has a point. When I ask myself "why does it matter that I'm experiencing life currently?" This is a question directed necessarily to whomever my life matters to. So, myself, as I enjoy living💁 my friends and family👫👬👪, who enjoy my company...most of the time😂 sometimes im a pain i know.
But what it boils down to how my existence enriches, enhances, brightens, im giving myself a lot of credit here, but overall positively impacts other entities to whom my existence matters.
So maybe there is some godly mind who had a specific purpose for me and all this incalculable cosmos, to whom my existence matters most of all, but absent my current conviction of this you wonderful people are reason enough for me😉
Remember to give someone a hug today🤗
How do you know there's another side besides a book telling you..
This is timely because I just want to literally die.
The reason nihilism is prevalent in modern society is because our political system demands citizens to find purpose in the system either by producing or consuming, devoting your life for a higher purpose is the demise of the system aka the world. Please if I'm wrong I'd like to know thank you.

I am grateful, but there's still lingering emptiness. Thanks for prayers.
The question is pointless. The only reason why we ask it is because our frontal lobe is slightly bigger allowing us better intentional thinking useful for tools. This opened up a new ecological niche. So just because we evolved to be such intentional thinking animals, we start searching for intention in everything, even in us.
