God Said No

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.

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.

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.
