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 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 God loves me>
God said...
"Ahhhh..........
Finally you have the idea!"
