In our daily lives, we ask questions.  What shall I wear today? What shall we eat tonight?  Where shall we go on holiday? Etc.  Occasionally, we may pause to ask deeper questions. Who am I?  Why am I here?  What is the ultimate purpose of my life?  Is the answer to these questions found within ourselves or outside ourselves?

Who I am is found in whose I am.    I belong to God.  In love, he has opened the Triune communion of love to include me.  So I now discover who I am as I discover WHOSE I am within this circle of love.  

Why I am here is also found in whose I am.  I am here because God wants me. And he wants me not because of anything in me but simply because he loves me and has always wanted me.  Even when I didn’t want him he always wanted me.  Even when I was against him he was always for me.  

What is the ultimate purpose of my life?  Again, the answer is found in whose I am.   My destiny is to be with the God who is for me within the circle of love. So when we awaken to the reality of God, we also become aware of the true goal of our own stories. We find ourselves saying yes to the God who is our future.  The God who is the end and ultimate purpose of our life-stories.  For we now see that our stories move from God’s circle of love, through his circle of love and to his circle of love.  All because Father, Son and Spirit are for us just as they are eternally for one another.
