Dear Beloved Friends,
I ASKED GOD
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.
His spirit is whole, his body is 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 asked God to help me LOVE others as much as He loves
me.
God said... Ahhh, finally! you have the idea.
I asked God to send me friends... He sent you
If you love God, send this to ten people you care
about and back to the person who sent it.
In Christ Jesus,
Biji James,
Bangalore
