God and his plan are the only things that provide meaning to this life.
It is only in him that we find something beyond all the pain, sickness, death and misery in this world.
There are no answers anywhere else.
In him we find the reasons for why these things exist.
And we find understanding that this is not how it was meant to be.
And we also find the promise that this will not be how things end.
He will recreate things as he meant them to be - filled with abundant life, and goodness, and wonder - with no hint of the shadows of this life.
It is this that gives us joy in this life - regardless of what we endure.
