No Demands [3]

I was told that when we have surrendered completely to God, God will take care of all our true needs.

He may give all that is truly needed – but people usually interpret this idea in the sense that He gives all that they think or feel that they need. He may do that – but also He may not.

It is said that He supplies all our psychic needs.

In the end, yes; but here too people expect Him to supply them instantly, which does not always happen.
