I Asked God

January 11, 2012

I asked God to take my pain away.
God said, No.
My grace is sufficient enough to help you through it.

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

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience comes as you endure tribulations with Me.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I have given you blessings, happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me from my suffering.
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 have faith to grow it 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 ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” - John 13:34,35.

know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know
that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes God allows things to happen to you at a time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize th...

To My Creation

January 9, 2012

To My Creation,
I love you. It's just that simple. No matter what you've done or what you haven't
done. I love you! You have an eternal spirit living within you, and I know your
spirit intimately, and I love you. You are on this earth, living your life, making
your decisions, trying to find out what's the best thing to do and how to do it,
how to live, how to survive and it's a struggle. I know this and I understand, for
this is the struggle of life. But all of this can be made easier if you w...

The Hospital Stay

January 8, 2012

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was
allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the
fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for
hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs,
their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the wind...
