| I asked God to take away my pain. God said No.
It's not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said No.
Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said No.
Patience is a by product of tribulation; it isn't granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said No.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said No.
Suffering draws you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said No.
I will give you life so you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me.
God said, ahhh.... Finally... you have the idea. | |
