"It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It's not the sort of comfort they supply there." C. S. Lewis

I find in my experience that I often look to God for one thing and He supplies another. What I mean is that my focus is often on some temporal comfort while His is on something of eternal value. It is not that He is uncaring about what goes on around us, I just think He is more interested in what is going on in us.
