Simple Truth

The following is an excerpt I got from Chuck Swindoll's book, "Come Before Winter and Share My Hope". The author of this particular poem is unknown, but his words are incredibly simple and true. I just had to share...

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;

I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater 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 for power, 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 got nothing that I asked for, but everything I had hoped for.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

God knows what is best for us...

Love,

Tammy
