What do you
ask God for?
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give 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 your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all of the things I might enjoy in 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!
This day is yours, don't throw it away.
