What is the meaning of LIFE?

Sometimes, when I was alone, I kept on wondering what is the meaning of life? What is the purpose that we came into this world and born as a human and not as other living creatures? Why did our creator send us into this world, knowing that there is always a possibility that we will sin and might even be doomed to hell for eternity? There is only one reason that I can think of. "We don't live in this world based on fate, because it is us who determined our own fate".

To me, our life journey is the same as an "old hat" or an "old rag", once we have done our duty, we are no more of use for others, we have to accept that we are not required anymore and we just have to move on. We have done our best to fulfill our duty and commitment, and when it is time to let go, we will have to let it go. We came to this world to "Do our obligations, with no rights to ask for recognition, no rights to ask for others to remember you or give the rewards that you are entitled to". We live to be as useful as we can be, as righteous as we can be, and by the end of the day, our creator will judge whether we have lived our life to fullest and being useful and a good example for others.

"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:16

Life is a gift filled with so many ups and downs, but if we believe in our creator, HE will give us the strength to face any difficulties that will come our way, and being the lights for others is the best gift that we can offer back to HIM.

What is the main purpose that we have been granted an opportunity to have a life in this world? I don't think we will be able to find the exact answers to that question. The only way to get the answer is from our creator Himself, and the only way that we will be able to see Him is after our time in this world came to its end.
