I asked God...

I asked GOD to take away my habit, GOD said "no."
its 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."
his spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked GOD to grant me patience. GOD said "no."
patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
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 GOD for all things that I might enjoy life. GOD said "no."
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked GOD to help me love others, as much as He loves me.
GOD said...ahhhhh!!, finally you have the idea!!
