When God Says No :)

We all know that feeling ☹.  We pray really hard for something we feel is selfless and worthy, and God says “No”.  He doesn’t say-“not yet”.  He says “No”.  And it can be difficult to accept sometimes.

But the truth is, God doesn’t just know about our todays and yesterdays, like we do.  He knows all of our tomorrows and the tomorrows of all of those we love.  His thoughts are “higher than our thoughts”, and He just knows better what we need versus what we want.

There is another reason God says “No”.  The more challenges we face, the closer we grow to God.  There is something about having to depend on God for our most basic needs that strengthens our faith and brings us closer to our Father.  And that my friends, is well worth it!

There is a third reason.  This is not Heaven.  It is a fallen world. We live in it, but we are not “of it”.  Heaven is our home and we will return there ?

Meet you at the Gate ?
