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.
If you love God, send this to ten people and back to the person that sent it.
THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY
May God Bless You, "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world"
"May the Lord Bless you and keep you, May the Lord Make his face shine upon you, and give you Peace.....Forever"
"Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
I simply love your accent. I also am a deep admirer of your work whether a story , a poem or the charmingly addictive music comes to my ear.
But you share your love by complimenting authors and I have been blessed by many of your heart felt thoughts. I reciprocate and must confirm it is true, I am in love with my old computer who brings all my friends to my heart.
Love

This is beautiful and yes, it is true - God says NO many times in our life. Sometimes it takes a while to understand why He said NO BUT WE DO FINALLY GET THE ANSWER. hE NEVER SAYS no TO ANYTHING THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. iN OTHER WORDS, hE KNOWS BEST FOR hE SEES FORWARD AND WE ONLY SEE BACKWARD.
