God's will?

My favorite comment about God's will, by Emmet Fox. . . .
 
The truth is that the will of God for us always means greater freedom,
greater self-expression, wider and newer and brighter experience;
better health, greater prosperity, wider opportunity of service to
others -  life more abundant.
 
Frederick Buechner  wrote,  The place God calls you to is the place
where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.
 
Anymore ideas?

The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness
that wants help
is the secret cup.
Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.
that whining is the connection.
There are love-dogs
no one knows the names of
Give your life
to be one of them.

-- Rumi
