The second ingredient for life is to feel needed. Without that ingredient, we may survive but not really live. There are an increasing number of people who don’t see any meaning in life. The world says you are just the result of a series of accidents of nature. A blob of tissue has no purpose, it just exists. Many people seek meaning through their work or through seeking fame or fortune, only to see it rust, vanish in a fire, or get stolen. People used to find purpose through their work and men were prone to commit suicide after they retired because they no longer had any purpose. However, today many people no longer find meaning in work and simply put in their time until they can retire and enjoy life. Unless they find something meaningful before they retire, retirement will just be a continuation of the same old struggle to survive. However, the Bible tells us that God created us for a purpose. Each person is individually molded by God and has a unique purpose. The Bible says God has given each one of us gifts for the building up of the body of Christ. When we do not use those gifts, the church suffers. The church needs to seek to help its members find their gifts and use them through meaningful employment or through volunteer work.
