I read this encouraging snippet online this morning:

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 byproduct 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 close 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 He loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
