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