I asked God to take away my pride and god said,"NO." I asked God to heal my disease and God said, "NO." I asked god to grant me patience and God said, "NO." I asked God to give me happiness and God said, "NO." I asked God to spare me pain and God said, "NO." I asked God to make my spirit grow and God said, "NO." I asked God if He loved me and God said, "YES." I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me and God said,
He said it was not for Him to take it away, but for me to give it up.
He said, "Your spirit is whole, your body is only temporary.
Through your afflictions you will learn to help others who also suffer."
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation."
It isn't granted, it's earned.
He said that He gives blessings, happiness is up to me.
He said, "Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.
He said that i must grow on my own,
but He will prune me to make me fruitful.
He said, "I gave my only Son who died for you.
You will be in heaven someday because you believe."
"Ah...Finally you understand!"
