I asked God to take away my pride,
and God said, No. He said it was not
for Him to take away, but for me to
give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped
child whole, and God said, No. He
said her spirit is whole, her body
is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience,
and God said, No. He said that
patience is a by-product of
tribulation; it isn't granted, it's
earned.
I asked God to give me happiness,
and God said, No. He said He gives
blessings; happiness is up to me.
I asked God to spare me pain, and
God said, No. He said, "Suffering
draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow,
and God said, No. He said I must
grow on my own, but He will prune me
to make me more fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me, and God
said, YES!!! He gave His only Son
who died for me, and I will be in
heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others
as much as He loves me, and God
said,
"Ah, finally, you have the idea."
