God's reliability

In this world where people often let us down it is comforting to know that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is always there for us. Christ's words ring true where He states in the last verse of Matthew "and lo, I Am with you always, even till the end of age". Jesus made a promise to all those who trust in Him, He will not leave us nor forsake us. We can count on Him in everything we do, all we need is to have that faith that Christ spoke of, which is as small as a mustard seed. When we ask for something in accordance with His perfect will and do not doubt in our hearts, He will be faithful to answer us. However, what of all the requests we have made to our Lord in faith that seem to go unanswered? Have you ever stopped and thought that maybe the answer was no? When we were children we would ask for things non stop and many times we were knocked back much to our displeasure. God will say no to requests that He knows will be non profitable in our spiritual journey. Christ states that if we ask for bread or fish, God will not give us a stone or serpent! What if our petition for bread wasn't really bread at all? What if in our finite ability to comprehend things we wanted or asked for something that may have resulted in us regretting what we received or did? If we love Christ, He will not blindly say yes to all our requests especially if they are to our detriment. God never let's us down, always remember that He is loving and wants the best for you,, even if you don't know what that may be.
