GOD SAID, “NO”
I asked God to take away my pride, and God said “no.” He 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.” He said his spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience, and God said “no.” He said patience is a by-product of tribulation, it is not granted but earned.
I asked God to give me happiness, and God said “no.” He said He gives blessings, happiness is up to me.
I asked God to spare me pain, and God said “no.” He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closed to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow, and God said “no.” He said I must grow on my own, but He will prune me to make me fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me, and God said “yes.” He gave His only Son who died for me, and I will be in heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me, and God said, Ah, finally, you have the idea. Yes; what a Blessing.
Thank You
