I asked God to grant me patience.
God said,
Patience is a by-product of trials and tribulations;
It can't be granted,
It is earned !
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said,
I give you joy unspeakable
which the lack of happy circumstances
cannot take away.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said,
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and
brings you closer to Me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said,
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to
make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said,
I will give you life so that you may enjoy
all things.
I ask God to help me see beyond
this temporal world.
God said,
Now you have the idea.
