The Issues   There are four areas which draw us into the depths of this question.   Freewill - am I free to choose?  Responsibility - am I responsible for my choices?  Values - am I valuable and is anything else valuable?  Morals - do any moral standards exist and, if they do, what is their relevance?  Our everyday activities are entwined with our beliefs in these four areas.  Self worth and the people and things we care about are based on our value system.  Society's monetary and economic systems follow from agreed upon values.  The rights we assume are founded upon our beliefs in freedom of choice.  What we see as right and wrong stem from our beliefs in responsibility and morals.  Government systems are built upon agreed rights, responsibilities, values and morals.  Much of individual and societal life is founded upon these four areas.   Is there a basis for these categories of meaning if the universe originated by chance?  In an impersonal universe, meaning reduces to chemical-physical interactions.  Freewill, responsibility, values and morals lack a basis in an impersonal world.  This uncertain basis for meaning contributes to a polarization of meaning found in every corner of life.   The Biblical Basis of Meaning   Biblical meaning finds its roots in the character of God.  Furthermore, a single moral standard in the beginning preserved meaning in life.  After humanity's fall from perfection, meaning became polarized to the oppressive right and rebellious left.  Much later, God gave His law which reestablished spiritual priority and social stability on all levels.   Conclusion   Is my life meaningful?  In God's world, most definitely.  We are free to choose and responsible for our choices.  As individuals, we are valuable and morally responsible.  God is the ultimate source of freewill, responsibility, values and morals.  This foundation for meaning forms a practical framework for decision making.   More detail
