I saw this and thought I'd share it with you all:
I asked God to take away my habit but 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 but God said No. His spirit is whole but his body is onlt temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience but God said No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations it isn't granted it's learned.
I asked God to give me happines but God said No. I give you blessings but happines is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain but God said No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly things and draws you closer to me.
I asked god to make my spirit grow but God said No. You must grow on your own but I will prune to make you friutful.
I asked God to give me all things that I might enjoy life but God said No. I give you life so that you might enjoy all things.
I asked god tohelpo me love others as much as He loves me and God said Ahh..... finally you have the idea.
May god bless you
To the world you are be somebody but to somebody you are the world.
