“The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.” Why would he do that? Why? Are his gifts defective? He has given us three cars, all of them gifts made by his people. Why is it that all three do not run?
Why would he send loving visionary people to our church only to take them away? Why give the church momentum only to hit a wall? I am so disappointed today. Disappointed in what a few weeks ago were his marvelous blessings.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
