Now the Lord says, who formed me from the womb to be His servant

Isaiah 49:5
Now the Lord says, who formed me from the womb to be His servant

We are created by God, even though it is done through physical biological process. Then we are also chosen for His purpose. This realisation that our created purpose is to glorify God leads to tremendous joy in the new discovery for those who really understand it. This will lead to a decrease in interests in worldly things and more focussed toward God. To deliberately go the opposite way is to bring many struggles for ourselves.
