Every person enters the world with a mission. They don't just arrive at random; it's all ruled over, arranged, and orchestrated by God without the slightest error. It's the same for every person in reality. They all live for the sake of God's sovereignty and arrangement, whether or not they're aware of it and whether or not they're conscious of it. People are like pieces in a game. Wherever God places you, whatever He has you do, and however long He has you stay somewhere, it's all under His orchestration. In terms of God's orchestration, people in reality all live for the purpose of His sovereignty and arrangement and for His management, and they are not in control.

No matter how capable or gifted you are, you can't go beyond the destiny that God has ordained for you. No one can live beyond these limits or go outside the destiny that is set and arranged for them by the Creator. The path that people should choose is understanding how God has arranged all this of yours, how He guides it, how He'll guide it in the future, seeking to understand God's desires and intentions, and then living on the course of destiny that is ruled over and orchestrated by the Creator. It isn't vying for, snatching for, or grabbing at things. It isn't about scrutinizing or resisting the desires of the Creator; it isn't about scrutinizing or opposing all of this that God has arranged for you. Doesn't this make your living right and proper?

People have found the source of life. They understand what destiny is all about, and they know how people should submit to the Creator's arrangement. This is a meaningful way to live. People no longer rely on the imaginings of their minds or their own strength to struggle and vie for happiness. They have learned to submit to the Creator's sovereignty and arrangement , and how much suffering this has avoided! No matter what it is that you pursue or what your wishes are, only by returning to the presence of the Creator, keeping to your place and dutifully accomplishing what you should do, and fulfilling and completing the duty that is yours can you live in a way that brings a clear conscience and is right and proper. There is no suffering involved. This is the meaning and the value of living.
