May God Bless You.
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,
Her body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
And God said, “No.”
He said patience is a by-product of tribulation,
It isn’t granted, it is 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 make my spirit grow,
And God said, “No.”
He said I must grow on my own,
But he will prune me to make it fruitful.
I asked God if he loved me,
And God said, “Yes.”
He gave me 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 loves me,
And God said: ”Ah finally, you have the idea.”
