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 her spirit is whole. Her 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 isn't granted, it is 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 closer 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 it fruitful. I asked God if He loved me, And God said, "Yes." He gave me 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." -By Claudia Minden Welsz |
