I aksed and God said NO

[imported_trumpet1988]

I asked God to take away my habit.



God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you
to give it up.



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

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.



Patience is a byproduct 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 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 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 asked God to help me LOVE others, as much
as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Thanks B. Found it somewhere, thought I would share it.

Methinks that DJ has done a considerable amount of growing up at Berea. I can tell a more mature attitude in your posts. Very proud of you.

Thanks, but got a way to go.

Berea's not like high school.

I'm coming in next week by the way.
