What does God want from you?

OK. God creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?

If you are an atheist, speculate. If God really exists and creates the universe and God creates you. What does God want from you?

Before you just give a quick answer, consider a Being capable of creating the universe and you has to be very very smart. Consider High Intellect with your answers. Make God's answer High Intellect.
Why would I assume God wants something from creation, or from me.

I have created many works of art in my lifetime, and I didn't want anything from any of them. They fulfilled their purpose for me simply by existing. And once they became extant, they survive and endure on their own. I don't even know where most of them are, anymore.

I had a pair... unfortunately, the heel broke off of them. To complicate things, the shoe repairman retired back in 2018, with none to fill his shoes...
I doubt they were the only pair in existence that would fit you. You'll find another pair at some point, and they may wind up being more sensible than that last pair you had.

For a person who only wears shoes when the law requires.... I have an awful lot of shoes. They're not all sensible, but I obtained most of them for sensible prices.

(I may be slightly obsessive about clothing matching.)

I own four pairs of shoes (technically 3 but one is a duplicate).

New Balance 626s that I got free from work.

New Balance 608s (aka Predator 3500s [coined by a friend of mine]) that are my casual shoes.

Basic black Crocs (one pair I've had for 15 years and the treads are completely worn off and I almost fell and broke a hip walking in the rain, so my daughter bought me another pair for my birthday this year) that are my slip-ons when I'm not feeling bending over and tying shoes.

15 years is a pretty good life for shoes.

I've got gold slip ons, orange slip ons, black lace slip ons, black strap flats, knee high winter boots, knee high goth boots(the one with the broken heel, that I'm hoping to repair with automotive glue), the orange boots I keep around to upset @Secret Chief , white lace Victorian style boots, white flip flops, gold Roman sandals, and a pair of those black and white shoes that were popular in the 90s.

That's a lot of shoes.

I could never own that many, mainly because it would mess with my indecisiveness.

My daughter is amused that I wear the same thing every day. Blue Levis and a black t-shirt. Sometimes when the occasion is a bit more formal, I'll get a bit silly and switch out the black t-shirt for a black polo shirt.

My husband does this, too, except his are raver pants(very specifically Ghast brand) and a T shirt with some kind of esoteric symbolism. The themes of his T shirts change every few years. Despite wearing the same thing, he has many, many copies.

I don't struggle too much with shoe decisions... despite the variety, there's usually only one pair that matches any given outfit.

I'm honoured. They just don't go with blue hair.
My only essentials are my Hoka running shoes.

She wants me to use the pronoun that she identifies as.
