Word for the day…

What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? —Matthew 7:9
 

    I asked for health that I might do greater things;
        I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
    I asked God for strength that I might achieve;
        I was made weak that I might learn to obey.
    I asked for riches that I might be happy;
        I was given poverty that I might be wise.
    I asked for power and the praise of men;
        I was given weakness to sense my 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 I asked for but everything I hoped for;
        In spite of myself, my prayers were answered—
    I am among all men most richly blessed.

        Yes, God always gives us what’s best for us.

       We may ask amiss, but God answers aright.
