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!
