I Asked God
| 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. 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 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 asked God to help me LOVE others as much as He loves me... God said..........Ahhh....finally you have the idea. |
