The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.

God bestows gifts on His people to enable them to carry out serve for Him, or to enrich their lives to help them carry burdens as He requires. In the giving and the taking away there is blessing for everyone. 

God sees the big picture. His eternal plan for the world and human kind cannot be stopped or changed in any way. His purposes will definitely bear fruit for eternity.

God give gifts that are to be used. If we don’t use the gifts we have been given, then we ourselves will suffer loss.

When our task for God is done, then the gift in now not needed, and He will take it away and replace it with another more suitable to our circumstances.

In all things, God is kind and full of compassion. The removal of some gifts might be helpful to some believers. But others will persevere with the vision and receive their full reward.

It is better to give than to take away…
