I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a byproduct 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 cares and 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 in 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 God loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
