God is a Loving, Interested Parent and Teacher

If God wants us to be the best people we can be, and we should "ask so we may receive," then God wants us to help ourselves become better—by asking God for help—step by step through Receivership—before making choices and decisions.

After all, no one becomes a better person simply by getting their material needs met. It is learning, growth, service, and socializing as directed by God within you that is required for your overall spiritual mastery and practical self-improvement over time.
