Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
A lot of people go through life without regard for God. I don't know how people feel at ease, waking up in the morning and going to bed to sleep without regard for God. Most people live as though there is no God and they are just merely existing.
You are here on earth for a reason and a purpose. God created us all for a reason and the instruction was clear. He asked us to replenish the earth, fill it and live according to His dictates. He is not the God to enforce His ways upon us but when we step outside His ways, there are consequences and even at that, He won't still hold us with force to listen to Him. He gave us free will and that was why the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden was strategically located at the center of the Garden so man can make choices. God is not a taskmaster. He would tell us what to do and it is left for us to do or not to do.
Our times and seasons are in God's hands. Before He formed us, He knew us. He created us for His purpose and His pleasure. We are not living for ourselves but we are expected to live for God. God is the ultimate. There is nothing we are facing on earth that Jesus hasn't faced while He lived. God made Jesus go through everything to serve as an example for us on the challenges we are going to face right here on earth.
John 16:33 (NIV)
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
We have been appointed as prophets to the world. We have been told to spread the fragrance of God everywhere we go so that when an unbeliever comes in contact with us, they can see Jesus in us. We are expected to show others the way to go and let them see what is possible with God.
We have been consumed with the cares of the world. We have forgotten our first mandate. We are majoring on the minor while making the major ones minor. When we seek first the major purpose of our existence then every other thing can be added unto us. Those add-ons would be added to us because God is not a liar.
Let's not forget the purpose of our existence. Never let us forget that our time and seasons are in God's hands. He makes time and chance happen to us all and He determines the direction He wants our life to go. Learn to trust God with the process and live according to His instructions. You are not here by chance. You are not on the earth by mistake. You are not living for yourself but you are to live according to His dictates and what better way to understand His purpose and counsels than to study His Word. We have the Bible to lead and guide us into all truth.
Your life belongs to God. God's gift is the life He has given unto us and our gift to God is what we do with the life He has given us.
Thank you for your time.

I believe that GOD gives us life, that we come into the world with a purpose, if not, there is no reason to be born, we as human beings go through many difficulties like Jesus, not understand how some people do not believe in GOD, there are so many signs

It shocks me too how people go through life without acknowledging Him when the signs are all there.

Yes, we are here on earth for a reason and a purpose. But some people say Allah doesn’t exist, how can they think it? The existence of Him can be found only by looking at the planets and stars. There are millions of planets and stars in the sky that are running in a very well-controlled way, there is no conflict with anyone, who is controlling them? Of course Allah, he sent us for a test.
Allah says in Quran, ‘‘What does people think, will he be released freely in judgment day’’

This is a question people usually ask "If God knows I will fall for this or that, why didn't he stop it?" And you've clearly explained it. God doesn't force anyone, He has given each of us our will. We just have to know the day of reckoning will come so it's up to us to live by His word or not.
