If the disciples were capable of making wrong requests - requests that were self-serving, patently materialistic, shortsighted or immature - I feel sure that we are too. Fortunately God loves us too much to say yes to inappropriate requests.

Summary

This quote suggests that just as the disciples in the Bible were capable of making misguided and self-centered requests, we, too, are prone to similar behavior. The quote highlights that God's love for us is so immense that He will not always grant such inappropriate requests. It implies that God's refusal to fulfill requests that are driven by superficial desires, lack of wisdom, or immaturity is a demonstration of His love and guidance, ultimately steering us towards what is truly beneficial and aligned with His greater purpose for our lives.
