I asked
God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is 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.
His spirit is whole, his body
is only temporary
I asked God to grant me
patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of
tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is
learned.
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 apart
from worldly cares
and brings 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 God for all things
that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that
you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE
others, as much as He loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you
have the idea.
