God is a loving Father, He cares, He guides and sometimes He disciplines, just as any other loving and responsible parent.
I told someone today 'it is not because your child asks for candy at diner time that you will give it to him, right?' And of course not. Every parent knows what's best for their child, just as God does. He created us, He designed us, He knows our hearts, He wants to see us doing the right thing, and He wants to reward us.
Sometimes the reward is not exactly what we expect. Just like John the Baptist or Paul, who really suffered in their lives, but I am sure received eternal life beside Jesus after death. This life is not all there is, there is an eternity that God wants to take us to, despite whatever happens to us here.
