GOD said "NO"

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 tribulation, it isn’t granted, It is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

       God said, No.

I give you blessing; happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

        God said, No.

Sufferings 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
