~ And God Said No! ~
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 Gods said, "NO,"
He said patience is a by-product of tribulation.
It isn't granted, it is 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 if He Loved me,
And God said, "YES,"
He gave me His only son,
Who died for me.
