About this listen

 WHEN THE GIVER TAKES
The wind takes things away from us, sometimes it brings things to our doorstep. The sea waves take shells away from the shore, sometimes it brings shells to the shore. God also takes things away from us, sometimes He brings things to us. God does not take things away from us to hurt us, but to replace it with something better.

A little girl was hungry and reached for her milk bottle. Her mother knowing it was empty took it away to refill it with milk, but the child started shedding tears. She wouldn't listen to a word her mother was saying. Some things are not worth your tears. The loses we often cry over are profits in disguise. God took Joseph from Jacob, and Jacob cried for so many years. But God brought Joseph back to Jacob, this time not as a "home boy", but as a prime minister. God took the family and possessions of Job away from him, and Job lamented for so many days. But He brought them back to Job, but this time in double-folds.

When God takes a gold away from you, it is not because He wants you to lack. But because He wants to refine it and bring to you a shiny and polished gold. God's grace is sometimes like a broom that sweeps away all the dirt and waste in your life, but brings to you things you thought were missing in your life. God won't take something away without having in mind something better for you. Stop crying (Job 1:21; Romans 8:18). God loves you!
