An excerpt:

Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone; or if he shall ask for a fish, will 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? ~ Jesus

God’s will for us is not sorrow, poverty, loneliness, death, and all the other forms of suffering that we usually associate with the expression “Thy will be done.”  “That creature in which the Eternal Good most manifesteth itself, shineth forth, worketh, is most known and loved, is the best.”

Paul expresses the same idea when he says, “It was the good pleasure of the Father that in him (Christ) should all the fullness dwell.”  This means fullness of love, fullness of life, fullness of power, fullness of joy, fullness of all good; and the Christ abideth in you.  “Of his fullness we all received.”  “And in him ye are made full.”

God is not death; He is life.  God is not hate and sorrow; He is love and joy.  God is not weakness and failure; He is power and success.

When Jesus Christ was here on earth He said He came to represent the Father, that is, to be to us as the Father would be; to do to us and for us what the Father would do: “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”  “Verily, verily I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doeth, these the Son also doeth in like manner.”

Jesus never gave sorrow or sickness to anyone.  Did He not say, “These things I have spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full”?  Did He not definitely say, “I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly”?
