I asked God

I asked God to take away my habit.
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 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 on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God 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...Ahhhh, finally you
have the idea.

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May God Bless You
