I asked GOD and HE told me NO......

I asked God to take away my pain, God said, "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up." I asked God to grant me patience, God said, "No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned." 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 & 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 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, God said... "Ahhhh, Finally you have the idea!"
