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.

Her spirit was whole,
Her body was only temporary.

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……FINALLY YOU HAVE THE IDEA!
