Sometimes in life, things just make sense. Things just fit. They're just right.
Sometimes God even blesses us with indications of His will. He showers us with blessings and grace-filled moments in which we know His loving plan.
Some things are just meant to be.
What I seem to have learned is that even the "meant to be" things do not belong to us. There is no guarantee that they will ever be seen all the way through.
Everything - even the things God obviously gives - belongs to God. They are His gifts to give and take away as He pleases.
He does not do this randomly at a whim. He does it intentionally, with the greatest good and highest level of happiness for us in mind.
When we say He can have our lives and that we want His will above our own, we have to be surrendering everything. Even the good He has given.
Maybe something really honestly is meant to be. But it is the truly abandoned person (the happy person) who knows, believes, and lives the fact that it always only belongs to the God who gives and takes away.
