The Lord may give us everything we want, but it is likely to break our hearts. Not because what we want isn’t good, but because what we want isn’t good enough. Even His best gifts are no substitute for Himself. So He breaks my heart with His gifts. In His love, I find Him heaping good upon me, faithfully schooling me over and over in that same old Truth, until again I can see and say by heart, “These are good, but they are not You.”
