Let me ask you something.
If someone prays for patience， you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?
If he prayed for courage， does God give him courage， or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?
If someone prayed for the family to be closer， do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings， or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”
我问你些东西吧。
当有人希望自己有耐心，你认为上帝是直接赐予他片刻的耐心，还是给他一个培养耐心的机会
当有人祈求自己更勇敢，你说上帝是直接给他一时的勇气，还是给他锻炼胆量的机会
又如果有人希望家人关系更亲密，你想上帝是要给他们耳鬓厮磨的短暂温馨，还是给他一个和家人共度难关的机会
