When God says "No."

This is another straight up Christiany blog post. When I pray for something I want, a lot of the time I expect a Yes answer. So what do I do when God says no? Ooh, that's hard. Sometimes I cry or rant, ask God why, or sometimes I just accept it and move on. For instance, the young man I spoke of in the previous post. God gave me an answer that he was not the one. I have to be honest, I was kinda mad. This young man really seemed out of this world extraordinary to me. So why wouldn't God want this for me? Doesn't he want me to be happy? But that isn't the right question. Sure maybe this man might have asked me out someday, and we may even have married, but if it wasn't God's will in the first place, would we really ever be happy? No. There would have been a hole somewhere because God said no and I did it anyway. Eventually that hole can become big enough to wreck our lives. I don't want that and I would not do that to him. So if he isn't the one, who is? What's next? Well, I don't know yet, but because I believe God can do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, I believe that in this case out of this world extraordinary isn't good enough for Him. Therefore, I just have to wait on Him because He is in control. All I have to do is give it up to Him and let Him take care of it. So what do you have in your life that isn't exactly what you want but that God could do something better with? Give it to Him, trust Him wholeheartedly and watch what he does.

P.s.- No is not always God just verbally saying no. If you have any sort of feeling that He MIGHT be saying no, pray on it and if the feeling gets stronger, that also means no a lot of the time. Also, seek wise counsel, always seek wise counsel.

God bless :)
