“God isn't about making good things happen to you, or bad things happen to you. He's all about you making choices--exercising the gift of free will. God wants you to have good things and a good life, but He won't gift wrap them for you. You have to choose the actions that lead you to that life.”
“You can't always make good choices. Sometimes you have to settle for making a choice you can live with.”
“There are choices you make not by planning but (as you make your shadow) by being where you are”
“God has plans for you and His plans are for good because God Himself is good. He can neither think nor do evil.”
“But really, there are no coincidences. Coincidences are just other people's choices, plans you don't know about.”
