He sent you.

but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicap disappear,
God said, No. your spirit is whole,
your body is only temporary.

God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is earned.
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 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.
