The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised. - Job 1:21
God can take away so that there may be greater blessings to come. His ways are not our ways. Our lives are indeed surrounded by the 2 quotes above. The 2nd sentence sinks right into my heart. Many of our setbacks (especially for me this year) are our desires, hopes and dreams that were unfulfilled, but they may not have been His, for His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). We may never know His plans, but for each tiny step we take, He will lead us onto the next one, so that we may eventually be a blessing to ourselves and others around us. Thus, when he removes something or someone from our lives, we should not fret, but be grateful for the more exciting and bigger things and blessings to come.
We live by faith,
and not by sight.
In the darkness you are
By our side.
We live by faith,
and give you pride.
Forever you are worthy to be
Our light.
