A good no

And I’ve learned over the years that the best answer that God’s ever given me to some of the requests I’ve made to Him has been “no.” I prayed as a young preacher for God to open up a certain door to a certain church that I wanted to go to. You know what He said? He said, “No.” He says, “My child, that place is not the best place for you. I have something better for you.” And, you know, He did. And He answered my prayer; He said “No,” and that was the best answer that could be given. You don’t have to storm the gates of heaven. My friend, God hasn’t gone to bed. The door there is wide open. He says, “Knock … seek … ask.” Take everything to God in prayer.
