The Ultimate Fantasy

Envision the most stunning man or woman in the world. The one in your wildest fantasy -- that you could never attain in this life.

One whose essence is so captivating to you, that you would do anything to spend just one afternoon with him or her.

One who feels the same exact way about you as you do about him or her.

One whose very smile makes your heart burn with desire, whose crystalline eyes are so riveting, your very heart and soul are arrested with a sublime euphoria you cannot contain.

One with whom your personality perfectly connects with on every level, with never any disagreement or dissent of any kind. Where nothing ever gets old between you, and where there is only real, deep pleasure between you that is always fresh and meaningful.

Now envision yourself with not enough money to pay this month's mortgage, a splitting migraine, a divorce settlement, a flood that just cost you your home, and the man or woman who just left you.

For it is the ultimate fantasy described above -- the one you would do anything for -- that is the real reason God has not made these problems disappear so fast.

Because without these obstacles, hardships and tribulations, that ultimate fantasy God fairly wants to make a reality for you to live in, can only legally be made real by them.
