Sharing - Jun 25

I asked God for strength that I might achieve, but God made me weak that I might learn to obey

I asked for health that I might do great things, I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy, I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked God for power when I was young that I might have the praise of men, I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life, I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I had asked for healing for my ears that I might live normal life, but I was given even bigger cross that I knew how to reach out to the poor whom the others could not reach.”

Now at the end of my life, I realize I got nothing that I asked for but everything that I really hoped for.

Despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered, I am among all people most richly blessed.

If God does not remove all the worldly attachments from my heart, I do not think that I will be able to choose the narrow path and follow Lord Jesus wholeheartedly.

It is only when we are at our lowest can we see God at the highest. May we pray that we are able to see God at the highest.
