"THE BLESSING IN "NO" "

I asked God to take away my pride.
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."
Her spirit was whole, her body was 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 ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!
