If we putter along with no sense of our lives as important then there is no way we can fully adhere to the 'breath of God' philosophy of creation. If we see our lives as a menial series of events that simply connect birth and death then we will inevitably, ultimately, fall prey to the idea of our existance - and therefore existance in general - as a massive accident. Then, we, if at our core believe life to be accidental then we will never be able to break free into a rich and possessed life full of purpose: of faith, hope and love - the manna of life everlasting.
In living a life of accident, we are relegated to a life of which all blessings are accidents (or are created by our 'virtue'). Then, slowly we will remove ourselves from the living, breathing people of the Kingdom and cast ourselves into a realm of unbelief and accidental creation. This accidental life commandeers our belief system, and we eventually go from believing in life as accidental to believing ourselves as accidents. For what we believe is the heart of who we are.
Ghandi said, "you must be the change you wish to see in the world." This idea of 'being' a belief is the core of who we are. If we believe the world is an accident, then so too do we believe that we are an accident. Conversely, if we believe that the world is a place of divine providence, then so too do we believe that we have a higher purpose. Then, and only then, can we subscribe to the 'breath of God' philosophy and live important, whole lives.
