I Asked God
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.
