< < < I asked God to take away my pain.
< < < 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.
< < < Her spirit was whole, her body was 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
< < < earned.
< < <
< < < 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 for all things that I might enjoy life.
< < < God said, No.
< < < I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
< < <
< < < I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
< < < God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
< < <
< < < If you love God, send this to ten people and back to the person
< < that sent
< < < it.
