Gott sagte 'Nein'. | God said 'No'.

I asked God to take away my habit. 
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. 
God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience. 
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

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

I asked God to spare me pain. 
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow. 
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.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. 
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Ego.

"Egoismus ist die Wurzel aller Probleme in jeglichen Beziehungen." (Pastor Todd Mullins)

"Selfishness is the root of every problem in any relationship." (Pastor Todd Mullins)

Die Welt ist nicht für Dich gemacht. | The world is not designed for you.

Erteile dem gesellschaftlich angesagten Ego-Trip eine Absage: 
Denke mehr an andere als an Dich selbst. Überlege, womit Du Familie, Freunden und auch Dir persönlich unbekannten Menschen eine Freude machen kannst.
Wo müsstest Du dafür vielleicht ein kleineres oder sogar größeres Opfer bringen? 
Zögere nicht, mache es!

"Jeder soll auch auf das Wohl der anderen bedacht sein, nicht nur auf das eigene Wohl." (Philipper 2,4 NGÜ)

---

Reverse and decline the social trend of being selfish: 
Start thinking more of others than of yourself. Storm your brain how you can enlighten your family members, friends and people you haven't personally known yet.
What is it that would cost you some or even a bigger sacrifice? 
Don't hesitate, do it!

"Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." (Philipians 2:4 NKJV)
