And God said,
"No."
He said it was not for
Him to take away,
But for me to give up.
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 spare
me pain, And God said, "No."
He said,
"Suffering draws you apart from
Worldly cares and
brings you close 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 to help me
love others As much as He loves me,
And God said,
"Ah, finally you have the idea."
~ Claudi Minden Welsz
And this commandment we
have from Him:
whoever loves God must also love his brother.
~1 John 4:21
