I said, "God, I cry a lot." And God said, "That is why I gave you
tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed." And God said, "That is why I gave you
Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard." And God said, "That is why I gave you loved
ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died." And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss." And God said, I saw mine nailed to a
cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives." And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?" And God said, "Mine is on My right and
yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, I miss them." And God said, I know. "But worry not, for the
second coming of MINE is close at hand.
"AMEN"
I asked God to grant me patience.
I asked God to give me happiness.
I asked God to spare me pain.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
I said, "God, I hurt." And God said, I know."
God said, No.
Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.
God said, No.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
God said, No.
I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.
God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
