Well, I'm glad you understood it, at least. Yes, they say we are god's creation, thus his children, but we can neither hear nor see god. Hence the deaf/blind child.

I feel incapable of offending god. That's not a proud statement, but rather a humble acknowledgement of insignificance. If indeed I have a divinely-given task, then I suspect I'm carrying it out without my knowledge. Admittedly, that does make the life I know remarkably like to a waste product in the grand scheme of things, but I haven't found a better gig yet, soo...

This is pretty much how I feel.
