The document is a dialogue where a person asks God for various things and God's response is always "no" and to explain why that thing cannot be directly given. God tells the person that vices are there to resist, their body is temporary but spirit complete, patience and happiness come from within not without, suffering brings one closer to God, and that God gives life so one can enjoy blessings, not the other way around. In the end, the person understands they must love others as God loves them.
