No Better Blessings

There are times when the blessings God grants us are not completely what we'd like them to be. Sometimes, the blessings come at a cost, and we shudder to think of the price that was paid, or that must be paid, for those blessings. Some blessings come with caveats or qualifiers that make them somewhat less appealing than we had imagined them. God's blessings, great as they are, are seldom exactly what we wanted.

Still, God knows best, and He always does what's best for His children. The blessings He gives us are the best blessings we could be given in our situations. Whatever the prices are, God thinks they're worth paying, and whatever the qualifiers are, God thinks they're worth keeping. Sometimes, we may wish for better blessings, but that's because we don't actually know what's best for us. God does. And the blessings He gives us reflect His infinite wisdom, even if it sometimes seems like we could be receiving better blessings.
