We exist because we are known and willed into being by God. Before time began, God knew us completely, not as a concept or potential, but as we truly are. Our lives are rooted in this eternal knowing, and there is no separation between who we are and God’s will for us. The infinite simplicity of God admits no division. We are created with the capacity to know and to love, so we might come to understand God and give ourselves back to the source of our existence. In moments of deep reflection, we recognize this truth: our lives are not separate from God but are grounded in God’s infinite reality. Our purpose is simple—to live in this awareness and respond to God’s gift with love and surrender.
May we live in the infinite simplicity of God,
knowing no division between who we are
and the love that grounds our being.
(inspired by James Finley, Christian Meditation)
