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 in
life.
God said No.
I will give you
life so that you
may enjoy all
things.
I ask God to
help me LOVE
others, as much
as God loves
me.
God said... Ahhhh,
finally you have
the idea.
