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 his spirit is whole,
his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
And God said "No."
He said patience is a by-product of
tribulations.
It isn't granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
And God said "No."
He said he gives me 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 would prune me to make
me fruitful.
I asked God for all things that
I might enjoy life.
And God said "No."
He said I will give you life,
that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others,
as much as he loves me.
And God said, Ah, finally you have
the idea.
