In order to understand goodness, we must make a distinction between getting what we want and getting what we need. Is God good when he fulfills our wishes or when we fulfill His? Is God good only when He gives us what we want or is He good when he gives us what we need even though we do not want it?

The good God has told us that in the last day he "will wipe away all tears from our eyes" (Rev 21:4) and without doubt, the more tears to be dried, the greater the consideration.
Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and, trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you...I will come back and take you with me so that you may be where I am going.
