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. Patience is a by-product of tribulations, 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 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 ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
|
|
|
|
|
God said...
Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. |
