God's Will for us

"God's will for us is not only that we should be the persons He means us to be, but that we should share in His work of creation and help Him to make us into persons He means us to be. Always and in all things, God's will for me is that I should shape my own destiny work out my own salvation, forge my own eternal happiness, in the way He has planned it for me." (Thomas Merton/Trappist monk) - This is not a escapist theology. This is not a mindless religion. This fits the creation story of being created in the image of God and given responsibility to work and participate with God's dream and vision for all creation. And this happens in the place where you work and play and rest.
