Why does God say no?

Now here's a good one: WHY DOES GOD SAY NO?


Of course there's so many answers, so many ways of phrasing that all point to one thing:
Because saying yes is not the best thing for you.

I've been struggling with that question lately. Or, rather, struggling with the answer "no". For that matter, how do I even know the answer is no? Well, I mean, it must be no! Everything I've ever thought of all say The time is not ripe or Because you're not ready.
And, bottom line: Because God wants you to depend totally on him and be satisfied with His love.


For once, I feel I've made a right choice in choosing, yet the door is shut? I mean, okay, I never expected it to be open. Maybe its because when I closed a door that was long due in being closed, I went ahead and opened another window?


Oh, you know the phrase... when God closes a door, he opens a window.
Okay, so if I close the self-opened window, I wonder what else will pop up? Its not likely I'll get something I want now.
That means its not good for you.


Aha. Obviously, its not the best for me! Yes, but its so hard to accept it.
Oh, don't too bad me!
I really don't like that word. God never said "too-bad" to us! Isn't there more than "too bad" in life?
I really hate it when people give the excuse "Life is never fair". I mean, yes, its not fair, so shouldn't we try our best to be fair, then?

Okay. I know God is saying no. Even though my mind is trying to imagine otherwise.

But I'd like some little golden nugget of comfort or reassurance that it'll be there in the end.
I'd like some treat of knowing something. Knowing it will happen, a little detail.
Ah, patience belittles me!

Freda: Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

Oh, I've had so much experience already!

God, why no? Please tell me.
