Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 I Asked God I asked God to take my pain away.God said, No.It is not for me to take away,but for you to give it up.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 caresand 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 lifeso 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. Foumd this poem on the net. Thanks to the Author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
