God is YOU! You are GOD!
You exist within an enviroment that was made so you could ask this question. Why? So that you question it and aim to understand who you really are.
Bad things are there to allow you in the long run to remember that this question gave you a path back to the being you ask of. (may take many life times though
Just remember that even though life may seem bad, it all leads you to the answer and realise that you are following your correct path.
Your life isnt the body but the people you effect and also learn from.
Your not here to evolve for yourself, no! Your here to also effect others and help them and through this you will grow and become the person you aim to be!
This is what God is - learn - understand yourself - help others - love.
