I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, no.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give 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 by product of tribulations;it isn't granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, no.
I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare the pain.
God said, no.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirits 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, Ahhh, at last, you have the idea.

Yes, the remaining part of message-II comes to me by mistake.
1. I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster.
2. I have come not to disturb or destroy any faith, but to confirm each in his own faith - so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim, a better Muslim, and the Hindu, a better Hindu.
3. You cannot see Me, but I am the Light you see by.
You cannot hear Me, but I am the Sound you hear by.
You cannot know Me, but I am the Truth by which you live.
4. I shall be with you, where ever you are, guarding you and guiding you. March on, have no fear.
5. Sathya is what I teach; Dharma is the way I live;
Shanti is the mark of My personality; Prema is my very Nature.
6. If you wish to lead a sacred life and have sacred experiences, you must engage yourself in sacred actions. The good and evil in the world can be changed only by the change in men's actions. Transformation of society must start with transformation of individuals.
7. Use the body as a boat to cross the ocean of life with devotion and detachment.
8. I have given you the heart to use in life, return it to me as clean and pure.
Any how I found the address at last. Please share it with others, for that I'm returning it to you.
