I finally realized after walking with Jesus for over 30 years that He didn’t owe me anything and what He had already given me was really the only thing I ever needed. I realized that He didn’t owe me a baby or a sibling for my daughter or a wonderful husband or an eternity with Him. He didn’t owe me anything but He had already given me everything in Jesus.

God is faithful and He is true. He is constant and steadfast and mighty to save. He is good beyond our imagination. But His goodness does not mean that He is obligated to give you everything that you decide is good. He is the author of good and every perfect gift comes from Him. So there is a point where I believe we have to trust that if the thing we deem as good isn’t coming from Him then maybe it isn’t the good He has planned for our lives.
