Contributed by Anita Verma
- 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 by-product 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.
