Because I Asked...

I asked for more faith,
And I was stretched,
I asked for greater love,
And my heart was broken.

I asked for more wisdom,
And I had to go through many obstacles,
I asked for comfort,
And many were sent to me so that I could comfort them.

I asked for a teacher,
And I was moved to teach the needy,
I asked for a leader,
And now I have many who insist on following me.

God has an unusual way of giving us what we ask for...
Yet through it all,
I have been blessed,
Far more than I could have imagined.
