I asked God to take away my pride
He said it was not for him to take away, but for me to give up
I asked God to make me hole
He said your spirit already is your body is temporary
I asked God to grant me patience
He said patience is a byproduct of tribulation. It isn’t granted it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness
He said I give you blessings happiness is up to you
I asked God to spare me pain
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me
I asked God to make my spirit grow
He said I must grow on my own, but he will prune me and make me fruitful
I ask God if he loved me
He said he gave me his only son who died for me and I will be in heaven someday
I asked God to help me love others as much as he loves me
He said oh finally, you have the idea
We are to follow him, not reduce him to a genie in a bottle
We need to trust and follow him, allow him to lead us. We don’t have a plan of our own. We trust in God‘s plan and remain patient, being faithful, while being hopeful.
