… I just can't give up now

Nobody told me

And I don't believe
He's brought me this far

Understanding How to Receive No
1. God is sovereign over that no.
2. The no isn’t a rejection of you, just the request.
3. The no doesn’t mean the person doesn’t love you or care for you.
4. In receiving a no, you have the right to be angry but do not sin.
5. You’ll only get angry and sin for receiving a no if you think the world revolves around you or the topic of request that got declined.
