You are radically free to delight in the gifts God has given you without the anxiety, regret, dread, or paralysis of infinite choice. Part of that delight comes directly from the contingency of those gifts, from the fact that God gave you a particular gift at a particular moment in your life. And because He gave it to you, it is good. You don’t have to worry or wonder or daydream about all the other figs or women or friends or talents or careers or experiences or children or whatever that you don’t have. They don’t matter.
