Could it be that so many don't really want God at all? They only want what Gods got. I know that won't ever work out for them. Now would it?
Yes this could be true.
In fact when I speak to people about Christ and coming to faith is not because you want God to sort out all your problems and to place your will on him.
I even say it's not about putting God in a box that you only open when you need him.
I also say that God never promised to make all things in your life good (which is often misinterpreted as a result of Romans 8:28)
Alas those who espouse this miss the full picture.
Romans 8:28-30
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
God causes everything to work together and why?
So they would become more like Jesus.
Yes God is interested and concerned about you but trust that he will work the way that he knows best for you and not what you think is best for you.
