~~~~ Beautiful Prayer ~~~~
I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, No. It is not for me to take away
your pain, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child
whole. God said, No. Her spirit is 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 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 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.
