God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

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.

You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.
