I asked God

1. I asked God to send me his friends...He
sent you.

2. I asked God to take away my pain. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

3. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

4. I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a by product of tribulations; it isn'tgranted, it is earned.

5. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

6. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws youapart From worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

7. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to makeyou fruitful.

8. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

9. I asked God to help me LOVE others as much as He loves me. God said....... Ahhh, finally! you have the idea.
