"Who am I?"

JOHN J. SELOVER

"Who am I?" "Where did I come from?" "What is my purpose and destiny?" "Why do I exist?" "When and how did I begin?"

Many people are asking these and similar questions. In. answer some may think of man as descended from monkeys. This hardly dignifies one's life hopes. And to consider Eden's dust as man's origin necessitates seeing that senseless source as his ultimate end. Some are seeking their roots in a personal, ancestral background, circumscribed by genes and other biological or environmental factors; but this gives the future little ultimate promise.

The answer to the question "Who am I?" may come to the person searching for spiritual reality this way: "You are God's individual, purposeful expression. You are not matter-born."
