God Said No...

GOD SAID NO…!

 

I asked God to take away my bad habits.

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

I asked God to make my sufferings in this world disappear.

God said, No. I can make you whole; your body is only temporary.

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 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.
