Is God's "NO" greater than HIS "YES"?



Is God's NO greater than all HIS yeses?

We've all heard the expression: putting GOD in a box; but I wonder how often we put His answers in a box as well? What about waiting on answers? Sometimes I think we find ourselves focusing on HIS "nos" rather than all of God's "yeses". Our prayer life with GOD is the direct communication line to a relationship with the Sovereign GOD. What an awesome privilege to have the opportunity to talk with the Creator of the universe!

Human relationship is two sided. You have your part, and the other person has their part. At the start of a relationship you want to know all about someone, you pursue them. You ask them questions. You get to know their likes and their dislikes. The desire is mutual to (hopefully) build a lasting relationship. However, what would happen if you were in a relationship where you were always doing the pursuing? You were the one who always called, left messages, wanted to meet up? Sooner or later the connection will probably die because you may get tired of the one sided nature of the relationship.
