I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a by product of tribulations.
It isn't granted, it's 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 cares and brings you closer to
me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy in life.
God said, No.
I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me love others as much as God loves me.
God said ....Ah,..... finally you have the idea.
