I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said no.
He said that patience is a byproduct 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 closer 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 me fruitful.
I asked God to help me love others as much as He
loves me,
And God said, "Ah, Finally you have the idea."
