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,of 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... Aaahhhh, finally you have the idea.
