Thus as Fechner, Berdyaev, Tillich, and, probably independently, Whitehead held (and Berdyaev most neatly formulated), our existence from moment to moment “enriches the divine life”. And this is the ultimate meaning of our existence.

Hartshorne, “Omnipotence and the other Theological Mistakes”, p. 27.
This works for me, I have found no better understanding as to why we are here, why is this world filled with multiplied dangers, why is life so unpredictable and random? Why does life and death look like the bouncing white ball of the roulette wheel? The only answer possible is that when we look up in spite of our circumstances, it pleases God, joy gushes from his or her belly and enriches the divine life.
Some day, if the opportunity presents itself, I shall ask God, could you not have gotten your jollies another way?
