Good Gifts

3 Nephi 14: 9-11
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son ask bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

I would wonder what would happen if we asked God for a stone or a serpent, but I think I answered that last time. God gives us good gifts, no matter what we ask for. He gives us blessings, and He gives us experiences that help us grow. I don't think God would ever give us something that would just hurt us, with no upside. Even the afflictions He gives us are made for our benefit, so they end up being blessings in the long run.

I think that God only ever gives out good gifts. It's just that we don't always share His perspective about what sorts of gifts are "good."
