I
asked God to send me his friends…He sent you. 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. Their
spirit is whole; their body is 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.”
