Bubble Gum and Candy Factories

We are so content with a 25 cent piece of bubblegum when God is trying to give us the entire candy factory. In our foolishness we kick and scream as God pulls us away from that candy dispenser and carries us to the factory to over-satisfy our desires. I guess if we kick and scream hard enough, He will give us that piece of gum to chew on for a while. But eventually, He will have to take it away, so He can fill our mouths with an abundance of goodness. Why can't we just say, "OK, God?"
