Ecclesiastes 1:12-14 NIV
"I devoted myself
to study and to explore
by wisdom all that is
done under heaven... I
have seen all the things
that are done under the
sun; all of them are meaningless,
a chasing after the wind."

"Study
to shew thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth." (2 Timothy
2:15 KJV)

God Said NO!
2/27/2007
- 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 by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
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 God 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...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
