A GOOD SPIRIT!!!

Soooooo Wednesday night at kids church, my brother and his wife were doing this game with the kids where they had take M&Ms and put them into 4 different cups according to their colors. So they did 4 boys first and the boy that won got to go up against the girl that one in her group of four girls, WELLLLLL this girl Queen by far beat ALL the other girls...
.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut OF COURSE one of the kids noticed that all the M&Ms that she had split up, there were NO BLUE M&Ms, so of course all the girls that lost were like, THATS NOT FAIR!!! So Queen looks at her cups and then, INSTEAD OF BALKING BACK AT HER TEAM MATES, she is like, YOU KNOW WHAT, your right, I DIDN'T have any blue ones, I PROMISE I DID NOT EAT THEM, buuuuuut they're right, that wasn't FAIR, LETS PLAY IT AGAIN, SO I CAN WIN FAIRLY!!!
Annnnnnnnnnnd YOU KNOW WHAT, that was EXACTLEY WHAT SHE DID!!! She played the game AGAIN and WON AGAIN....buuuuuut this time, FAIR AND SQUARE!!! Then she went on and played against the boy that won AND beat him too!!!
.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut I couldn't help but think, WHAT A GOOD SPIRIT this little girl Queen had about it! She was confident enough in her ability to win that game, to risk losing her prize AND PLAY IT AGAIN!!!  When the other girls started complaining about her winning unfairly, she could have been like, NO I WON!!! And you know what, SHE DID WIN! It was NOT her fault that she hadn't been given any blue M&M's, AND my brother and sis-in-law I'm SURE would NOT have made her play again to prove it!
.
AND it got me to thinking, are we CONFIDENT ENOUGH IN GOD, that he will do what is best for us, that we are willing to LOSE the prize we had been waiting for, JUST so he can teach us, TO REALLY TRUST IN HIM???? If something is God's will, you won't  have to manipulate a situation for it to happen, GOD WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

Do you trust God ENOUGH to say, you know what God, I'm willing to let go, SO YOU CAN PROVE yourself to me, SO YOU CAN SHOW ME, that you REALLY CAN DO IT! The right way! Without MY "HELP" and ON YOUR OWN TERMS!!! When we try to manipulate a situation, our confidence is NOT truly in God's ability, BUT IN OUR ABILITY TO MAKE GOD'S WILL COME TO PASS!!!
.
Trusting in God is MORE than just believing that he is going to do what you think he should do, IT'S BELIEVEING that he is doing what's BEST FOR YOU, EVEN when he doesn't do what YOU THINK HE SHOULD DO!!!  Ok God, I thought you gave this to me, BUT my confidence in you to what is best for me, is high enough to say, OK, LET'S DO THIS AGAIN!!! SHOW ME WHAT YOU CAN REALLY DO GOD!!! MY FRIENDS, He ONLY has GOOD PLANS FOR US, You can put your confidence IN HIM!!!
