 God doesn't work this way. Oh yes I'd like to order. I'd like a big house on the beach, smoking hot wife, a comfortable job, and if it's no trouble I'd love to throw in no sickness too. That would just be a real drag. Thanks for your trouble. You can't bribe God with money or good deeds. The truth is that we shouldn't be finding our joy in a comfortable life or a big house, but rather in God who loves us and cares for us and has given himself for us in him is our pleasure, in him is our joy. Not because he gives us exactly what we want, but because he gives us what we truly need.
