juan in las vegas  - "if God really loves me why doesn't he give me everything i want?

one reason, and i believe the most important reason, is that what we want may not be good for us.  after all, all we want is just stuff, and stuff is nothing.  God's desire is not to give us what we want, but to give us what we need.  we need his love, his grace and his guidance.  when we get "all we want" we become spoiled brats, and we all know how spoiled brats act!  in luke (12:15-21) jesus tells us not to be motivated by our wants; he tells us to be motivated by our desire to know God better and to be seen as rich in his sight.
