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 tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.*

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 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.*
God said..*.Ahhhh, * finally you have the idea.

After seeing the movie the Passion... I wondered if us humans would be able to handle such love in full measure.

With His help we could.
