I am intelligent and free so that I can love, as God by Maker loves. In calling me to live my special qualities and characteristics, God planted deep in my self an original purpose - the concrete expression of God s hopes in and for me. If I grow to be the person God has been hoping I would become, I manifest God s power at work, God s glory. For the glory of God is a human person fully alive. If I know who God is and who I am, and live out that knowledge, I will praise God in the morning and thank God in the night, and intend to fulfill God s hopes for myself and for my life world.
All creatures have such an original purpose.
I am also to live among created things as to reach my own, using or not using, enjoying or not enjoying others, depending on whether they help me express my original purpose. Yet even in this order and harmony, the Creator courteously leaves us with freedom. We are to choose whether to keep the rightness and justness and order. Where we choose not to, we wreak havoc on the earth. God surely knows this.
