God is a tricky fellow. More often than not, I feel that I know more about myself than he does...especially about what I want and my future. But that is not true, and I guess I should give him more credit. What happens is we allow "logic" to get in our way. Then I ask, "who do I trust more, God..or people" We let what people say and do affect the things we truly want, and then we shove all those dreams and desires into a box and lock it deep in our souls.
The only thing God can do at that point is beat the hell out that locked box and hope we open it. But that is all he can do since we have free will. He can't make us do anything...even when he knows how much we'll benefit from it. He can't make us move across the country, or look at the postive side of things. Or even realize that everyday is a chance to start over. Being happy just means truly realizing the things we want, and deciding what we need to sacrifice to get there. There are no promises that it'll be easy, or even what we imagined we want or need....but just a promise that "those who endeavor to live the life they've imagined, will meet with a success unexpected in common hours" -Thoreau
