A while back I was faced with a situation that I had to address with someone that I knew and they came back to me with the all famous "you're supposed to be a christian and I would think that you are supposed to giving and helping people". Not thinking at the time, I was stumped and didn't know how to react to that one.
To clarify and get things "off my chest" at the time, I shared a little of the background with another sister. And almost began to feel guilty again.
My sister then gave me a reply that set me FREE. She said that God doesn't always say YES and give us what we want. I could feel the chains breaking loose. See, God doesn't always give us what we ask for and what we want. He gives us what He knows is best for out lives and the situations that we face. He knows how we are designed and what is best. FATHER knows best. While it may hurt our feelings or make us feel bad that we didn't get what we wanted at that time, we must trust God that he has our best interest at heart. I can think of lots of times that I really wanted something, was close to having it and knew for sure I was getting it. Then, God added a little detour. That wasn't a road block, it was a detour.
