If we ask for what we think is good we are limited by our own finite experiences and imagination. But God is unlimited.
He knows everything.

God knows our past in every minute detail.
He knows all our possible futures just as clearly.
And God is the One who put us together.
Not only our physical body, but also our inner selves: our minds, our spirits, our souls, our personalities.
And, God knows where we are at:
He knows all our thoughts, all our dreams and all our desires.
God has a plan for your life and mine.
All through history God has been working out a master plan of bringing the lost people He
loves back to Himself.
God has a part for you to play in this drama and He has placed you where you are in history and location, and designed your personality and giftedness and circumstances so that you would be perfectly suited to carry out His plan.
Since God knows who we are,
how we’re made,
where we’ve been,
and the best place for us to go,
He alone knows exactly what we need most.
And because He is all powerful,
He alone is able to grant it.
So call on Him today and instead of asking Him for what you want, ask Him for what He wants for you.
He will grant your request
and you will come to know the Lord in a new and powerfully life-changing way.
To learn more about God’s plan for you, read the Bible (Psalm 145:18-19, 147:5, Jeremiah 29:11-13, Matthew 6:9-10), talk to a friend who knows Jesus, visit a church that honors and preaches The Bible and Jesus as God, and, if you would like, write your comment on this blog.

When I first came to know Jesus I felt that everyone needed to discover that God loves them just as they are, and that He died so we could spend forever with Him and Him with us.

Twenty-nine years later I still believe that.

The difference is that now I don’t also DEMAND that everyone discover that God loves them.  Jesus said that if you are persecuted in one city, flee to the next.  He did not say to stay and fight and impose your will on them.  Jesus respects our right to choose to enter a relationship with Him of our own free will or to choose to reject a relationship with Him by that same free will.  He gave us that right.  And it is the cornerstone upon which a love relationship is built (or conversely, self-destruction begins).

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” – Jesus, Mathew 7:6

I have experienced the above verse.  God gave me a window to reach someone I love, with God’s love, because I begged Him.  That person listened, did not believe, but did not attack me.  A week later I tried again, this time God was clearly warning me not to talk to them about Jesus.  I ignored His warnings and as soon as I brought up Jesus, I was scathingly attacked with all the fury of Satan.  Jesus protected me from the attack but it was a very scary and humiliating lesson.

Now I tell God I want to want whatever He wants and to lead me to someone today who wants to know Him.

He answers that prayer every time.
