Title: Sai said “No”- Patience is a By product of Tribulation.
Post by: JR on October 26, 2007, 01:39:14 AM

I asked for Strength
And Sai gave me difficulties to make me Strong

I Prayed for Wisdom
And Sai gave me problems to learn to solve!

I asked for Prosperity
And Sai gave me brains and strength to work!

I prayed for Courage
And Sai gave me daughters to overcome!

I asked for Love
And Sai gave me troubled people to help!

I prayed for favours
And Sai gave me opportunities!

I asked for Humility
And Sai gave me experience not to be proud!

I asked for Sai to grant me Patience
And Sai said “No”- Patience is a By product of Tribulation.
It isn’t granted. It is earned.

I asked Sai to spare me Pain
And Sai said “No”-He said “Pain lets you experience the sufferings of the others and increases your fighting spirit."

I asked Sai to spare me suffering
NO HE Said. suffering draws you apart from worldly care,
it gives you strength to fight, it gives you a feeling of love, togetherness, humanity
and
brings you closer to ME!”
