The Meaning of Life

I believe this with all my heart.

In an 1890 sermon, clergyman Henry Drummond talks about our meeting
with the Creator. He says:

"At this moment, the great question of the human being will not be: "How have I lived?"

Rather, it will be: "How have I loved?"

The final test of every search is the dimension of our Love. What we have done, what we believe in and what we achieved, will not be taken into account.

None of that will be demanded of us, but rather our way of loving our fellow human. The errors we have committed will not even be remembered. We will not be judged by the bad we have done, but rather by the good that we have failed to do. Keeping Love locked up inside oneself is going against the spirit of God; it is proof that we have never known Him, that He has loved us in vain.
