I Asked God
I asked God to take away my pride. 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 is whole, her 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 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 asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...
Ahhh, finally you have the idea!
