Beautiful Prayer

I really like this prayer that one of my friend's had sent me a few years back. So I thought I would share it with you. It brings truth and understanding to a world that sometimes doesn't feel like has any hope and compassion:

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 by-product
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 asked God to help me LOVE
others, as much as He loves
loves me.
God said... Ahhhh, finally you
have the idea.
If you love God, show it to the
people that surround you
for they are gifts of God.

May God Bless You,
"To the world you might be one
person, but to one
person you just
might be the world"
