I Asked God
I asked God to
take away my pain.
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. Her spirit was whole, her body
was only temporary.
I asked God to
grant me patience.
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 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...Ahhh, finally you have the idea.
