God's purpose for you
Consider the creator of the first musical instrument. Perhaps he or she used an animal skin stretched over a hollow log, or a delicate flute fashioned from a river reed. Whatever the instrument, it must have given its creator great pleasure.
Now consider the ultimate joy and pleasure God has in His creation. Just as our early musician created an instrument to express the music of his soul, so God created man—and all the universe—to express the infinite harmony of His being.
Man is God's spiritual reflection. Man is perfectly suited for the function he fulfills: to express Life, Love, Mind, Truth, Soul, Principle, Spirit. Do you know of your true identity as your creator's expression? Each of us is either learning to know himself as God's image and likeness—expressing vitality, pure affection, intelligence, harmony, integrity—or he is accepting a mortal belief of material existence that includes mistakes, chance, interruption, separation, limitation, and inharmony.
