"G-d Said No"

A friend sent this to me and I wanted to share it with others who can benefit.
Hope you enjoy!

I asked G-d to make my handicapped child whole.
G-d said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked G-d to grant me patience.
G-d said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked G-d to give me happiness.
G-d said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked G-d to spare me pain.
G-d said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked G-d to make my spirit grow.
G-d said, No.
You must grow on your own!
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked G-d for all things that I might enjoy life.
G-d said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked G-d to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
G-d said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
