The Meaning of Life
“This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13 WEB)
Does the word “commandments” throw you off?
The commandments for us today are not the Ten Commandments. It’s only two: to believe in Christ Jesus whom the Father has sent, and to love one another just as Jesus loved us (1 John 3:23).
To fear God simply means to worship Him with reverential awe. When you ‘fear’ God this way, you won’t have the fear of man.
If you want to know the meaning of life, it’s found in the main verse above.
Worship God, have faith in Jesus and let His love be known to the world through your words and actions.
This is great wisdom and also the whole duty of man, so let all you do be centered around this!
Even if we live 120 years, our lifespan is just a vapor of breath in contrast to eternity.
Let it have eternal impact by being a yielded vessel for God.
Don’t stumble through life blindly and in vain, chasing after things that don’t matter.
Being drunk with wine is pointless and harmful, but being drunk with the Holy Spirit is great gain.
I pray for you to enjoy the overwhelming lightness and joy of being under God’s power—there is so much joy and life in His presence!
One of the best things you can do is to study God’s word to understand His heart of love towards you.
On this page, I endeavor to send forth fresh revelation every day, at least twice a day.
As the Holy Spirit reveals truths to me, I simply share them after receiving from Him.

THE REAL ‘MISS UNIVERSE’: MARYAM BINT `IMRAN
And another one; another friend of mine recently named her baby girl “Maryam”. I reflect upon how many friends named “Maryam” I have. And why not, indeed? It is a name oft-mentioned in the Qur’an in a tremendously positive light, with a chapter/surah having it as its title. For women, for all time to come, Allah has mentioned Maryam Bint `Imran, a pious woman from the Bani Israel, as a an example serving to be a beacon of light highlighting positive feminine characteristics and modest character.
The word “Maryam” has Hebrew, Latin and Aramaic origins, and literally means, “pious, chaste”, or, according to other sources, “bitter sea”, or “wished-for child”. Its Hebrew counterpart is “Miriam“. In Egyptian, it may have been derived from Mry, meaning “beloved”.
The Qur’an mentions several traits about Maryam Bint `Imran that highlight her high status. Below I have tried to highlight these traits so that we can endeavor to adopt them for ourselves, and also to appreciate those simple yet valuable women in our lives who possess these traits yet we sometimes undermine them.
She and her future progeny were given into Allah’s protection from Satan by her mother
فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْهَا قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُهَا أُنثَى وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا وَضَعَتْ وَلَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالأُنثَى وَإِنِّي سَمَّيْتُهَا مَرْيَمَ وِإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
But when she had given birth to the child, she said: “O my Sustainer! Behold, I have given birth to a female” – the while Allah had been fully aware of what she would give birth to, and [fully aware] that no male child [she might have hoped for] could ever have been like this female - “and I have named her Maryam. And, verily, I seek Your protection for her and her offspring against Satan, the accursed.” [3:36]
