A thought to ponder on

sometimes we keep asking God, praying to Him but it seems our prayers are neva answered. weekend came and went.. and i found this poem tat made me look at things differently now. Men &God's perspectives are different. I'm still learning to see things His way...

And God said, "NO"

I asked God to take away my pride,
and God said, "NO"
He said it was not for Him to take away,
but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
and God said, "NO"
He said, "Her spirit is whole,
and her body is only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience,
and God said, "NO"
He said, that patience is a by-product of tribulation;
it isn't granted, it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness,
and God said, "NO"
He said, He gives blessings;
happiness is up to me!

I asked God to spare me pain,
and God said, "NO"
He said, "Suffering draws you apart from wordly cares,
and brings you closer to Me!"

I asked God to make my spirit grow,
and God said, "NO"
He said, I must grow on my own,
but He will prune me to make me more fruitful!

I asked God if He loved me,
and God said, "YES!!!"
He gave His only Son who died for me,
and I will be in Heaven someday because I believe!

I asked God to help me love others as much as He love me,
And God said,
"Ahhhh, finally ~ you have the idea!"
