I believe every person in the world has great value and a reason to live.  We all have a destiny.  God gave us all a special meaning when he made us and gave us life.  And, everyone deserves to lead a life of their own, whether the person is strong or weak, rich or poor.  God has given us free choice, but life and death should be only His decision.  A life is a beautiful thing!  Especially when you give love and kindness to those in need.

The reason that God made us is because he has a mission for each of us.  The mission that God gave us is to share His love for us.  Love is what brings us together. When we help others, we grow ourselves in our faith and we make God happy. Every life gives meaning to the other life. We are all connected to each other. Life brings us love, hope, and courage. Every life is a gift to humanity. We should always cherish our lives that God gave us. We especially should look after those that are weak and small. We have a duty to protect them.

Sharing our love is living our lives to the fullest. Just know if you help someone or save a life you are making God happy and giving meaning to your life! God's creation is marvelous!
