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.
Blessings to You & Family
