I asked God

I asked God

 

— Author Unknown

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 ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said… Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

To keep looking within and keep looking up!

You are so much more than your physical body and you are so much more than your mind.

The underlying truth is that you are a beautiful Divine Soul of Light who is One with All and able to open to the highest and best possibilities in the ever present Now.
