I asked God to take away my bad habits.
 
God said, no. 
 
They are not for me to take away, but for you to give them 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.
