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

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by product 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.

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 for all things
that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so
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.
If you love God, share love!
