                    QUESTIONS FOR GOD
I came across some post-it notes that contain brief notes that kids wrote to God. Here are a few funny ones…
Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed in church. Is that OK?
Dear God, I think about you sometimes even when I’m not praying.
God, thank you for the baby

                    God ... does not lavish his children with a jolly discipleship so that they may swim in spiritual ecstasy between conversion and death.  God is a giver, but he does not give happiness.  He gives redemption, meaning, security, love, victory, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  And happiness is
