He told me that arrogance could not be taken away. Arrogance could only be abandoned. 2. I begged God to heal my daughter, who was bed-bound and God said “No” to me. He told me that her soul is intact and her body is only temporarily. 3. I begged God to give me patience and God said “No” to me. He told me that patience is a result of trials. It could not be given. It could only be earned. 4. I begged God to give me happiness and God again said “No” to me. He told me that he only could give me a blessing. Whether I will become happy or not depends only on me. 5. I begged God to keep me from pain and God said “No” to me. He told me that suffering detaches one from empty hassles of everyday and makes one intimate to Him. 6. Then I asked God for spiritual growth but again God said “No” to me. He told me that my spirit should grow by itself and He will only trim it at right time to make it bear fruits. 7. I asked God to help me to love others the same way he loves me and God told me “At last you know what you should ask for” 8. I asked for strength and God sent me trials to harden me. 9. I asked for wisdom and God sent me problems to puzzle over. 10. I asked for courage and God sent me dangers. 11. I asked for love and God sent me those in need of my help. 12. I asked for wealth and God sent me possibilities. I have not got anything I asked for. I’ve got everything I needed. God heard my prayers. January 23rd, 2006 |
