What THINGS mean, that happen in our lives, is the MEANING that we give those things.

The thought behind the quote
Every THING that happens in our lives is not about the THING that happened...We are the ones who give MEANING to the THINGS that happen. And if we love God, He works ALL THINGS together for our good...the THING is not about the thing, but every THING, is about EVERYTHING...we have the power of God within us to be able to put every THING in the natural into a SUPERNATURAL context...to literally "positively eternalize" rather than "negatively internalize" the temporary...when we know God has a purpose for our lives, we can give an eternal meaning to seemingly temporary meaninglessness. (Reference Romans 8:28)
