I think that it is presumptious to try and "know" what God has intended. The fact is, we have been created. We are. As someone who I care about says: "It is what it is."
If you believe in God, you know that God loves you. You need to make the best with what you have. I doubt that you will ever be faulted for that.
I tell my closest friends that know me "Someday God and I are going to sit down together and have a good laugh."
I truly believe that we need to make changes that are necessary for us to face our demons. We are God's children. God will never punish us for dealing with our "blessing" or whatever else you choose to call it. Is it a test? We may never know.
It is what it is.
