****And God Said, "No!"****

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said, "No." God said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole, and God said, "No." God said her spirit is whole; her body is only temporary.

I asked God to give me patience, and God said, "No." God said that patience is a by-product of tribulation: It's not granted: it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, "No." God said he gives blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain, and God said "No." God said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said "No." God said I must grow on my own, but God will prune me and make me fruitful.

I asked God if He loved me, and God said "YES." God said He gave His only Son who died for me and I will be in heaven some day because He died for me, if I believe.

So I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me, and God said, "Ah, finally you have the idea!"
