God Said No
« on: September 08, 2006, 09:14:57 PM »

God Said No


I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

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

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

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 God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

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

 

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May God Bless You,

"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world"

"May the Lord Bless you and keep you,
May the Lord Make his face shine upon you,
And give you Peace.....Forever"
"Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them,
But you know they are always there

Interesting thought. If God say, "You must grown on your own" without saying "I will prune you to make you fruitful." Then we cannot grown even God say "You must grow on your own" because He wants us to learn that we flesh is impossible grow. In the meantime, we learn and acknowledge that we as flesh failed/marred many times and acknowledge (humbleness) that we cannot grow on our OWN in flesh, then God will prune us for enough room to grown in spiritual. If we don't acknowledge, then God will not prune us to make us fruitful spiritual because of the pride like Christendom. Only God chosen (elect-acknowledge/humbleness) before the world was made. Yep, all things is of the Lord  :D.
