What we came to this world for

We came to this world to grow and come to know Him. In this world are signs of what is possible in God, and how it is to love and be loved. But also we learn the despair of being alone, and the depth of depravity when love is absent in the heart. We came to find ourselves but also to let go of ourselves in such discovery, by which we miss God and find Him. To be born and to die, but then reborn and never die. We are like flowers that blossom then wither, but in the dying we give life. This is the spirit of Christ forever living in us. We are sons of man who must die in Christ to become sons of God.
