I ASKED GOD

In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

I ASKED GOD

I asked God to send me his friends... He sent you.  

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 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 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 and 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 as much as He loves me.  

God said Ah, finally!  Now you have the idea.

If you love God, send this to other people you care about.
