“I Asked God…”

Sunday 22nd January, 2006

From SikhiUnleashed Forum


I asked God to take away my pride,

And God said, “No.”

God said it was not for God to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,

And God said, “No.”

God said her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience,

And God said, “No.”

God said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn’t granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness,

And God said, “No.”

God said God gives blessing. Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain,

And God said, “No.”

God 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.”

God said I must grow on my own. But, God will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God to help me love others as much as God loves me, and God said, “Ah, finally you have the idea.”
