"God wants us to be abundant and to use our gifts to prosper. He doesn't want us to bury our gifts. He just doesn't want us to go about creating a good life with the notion that it in itself will provide our happiness. He wants to be that Source for us. It's not the outcome; it's how we get there that matters. Did we do it with Him, on His power, or without Him, on our power?" Transformation happens through suffering. You stop suffering when you dare to admit and feel your fear and self-doubt, and surrender them to Him. Then He can work through your life and help you.
