Role of a Life in the Purpose of Life

How are we to understand our roles in the unfolding Purpose and ongoing Creation? Surely I have no important role in something so grand and infinite! Me, have a role in God’s Purpose?! My life actually having some importance that to even some small degree will ripple into someone else’s life distant in time and space?!
It is, for me at least, deucedly difficult to imagine such a thing. In fact, much more so than being loved by God, than Resurrection, than holy Purpose unfolding in the creation of perfection of eternal Love, my having a role in all that is just impossible to imagine.
Yet is there any other way for God’s miraculous Purpose to unfold than through us? Certainly there is nothing eternal about anything else in physical Creation. Planets and galaxies are mere coruscating flashes in the flow of eternity. Sure, God’s Purpose unfolds per miracles, but don’t those miracles have to unfold through our lives and propagate via our testimony?
It is humbling and intimidating and overwhelming and beyond reason to think of playing a personal, individual, critical role in the Purpose and Creation, but for what else is the loving Purpose and Creation if not personally and individually for and about each of us?
