"We think that if Jesus compels us to do something and we are obedient to Him, He will lead us to great success. We should never have thought that our dreams of success are God's purposes for us. In fact, His purpose may be the exact opposite. We have the idea that God is leading us toward a particular end or a desired goal, but He is not. The question of whether or not we arrive at a particular goal is of little importance and reaching it only comes merely as an episode along the way. What we see as only the process of reaching a particular end, God sees as the goal itself... His purpose is the process itself."
