Poetry: The point of life is unknown to God

God sat down on his throne,
with a frown, and a heavy groan.
His creation was looking for the point,
of his creation, in themselves, disjoint.
A point can prick you into life,
but being pricked has no permanence,
unless you let the prick of truth,
open you up to the love of truth.
The point of a point is not to point.
Nothing has a point, but a point.
Everything true has a function for love,
everything untrue, cries for a point.
A point only exists externally to you.
Internally, you need no pointer to love.
The point of life is unknown to God,
because the point is not the point.

A point takes you away from God. God is the point.

Yes, inside us is the unquenchable thirst to know who, where, and why we are here.
I believe God is everywhere in creation, the seen and the unseen - omnipresent.
We are not separate from the creation; that means, God is in us too.
Then our potential is limited only by our lack of application to love without borders - siva

That's a very good summation of what life is all about siva.
Love itself never has limits, but we limit love. This also means we limit ourselves, when we limit our loving.
God has no limits because he never limits his love. We should be the same as this, as much as we can.

@innertalks Yes Steve, it is "Elementary my dear Watson" comes to mind readily.
"The world is your oyster" when we love without borders; now we are like a "frog in a well" afraid of even our own shadows to venture and explore with love in our hearts - siva

@Shiva49 The world is of our own making, and love makes it of God's making.
It's that simple and that hard.
How do we love?
We try to love God with our whole being, and then we just try to block or move away from the nonlove too.
Both actions make a heaven there for us on earth.

God created man to have fellowship with Him, but man sinned, and broke that bond. God sent His Son to be the sacrifice for our sin, and through Him and accepting His gift of forgiveness of sin, we can come back into fellowship with God. Most people ignore that "point".

Yes, that is the point on which all else depends, and hinges on now. That point makes every other point more real, if we accept it for ourselves.
God gives such pointed chances to give man the chance to finally see the point of himself, God, being a part of their own lives.
