Sitting in chapel listening to "YOU GIVE AND TAKE AWAY" being sung over and over got me to thinking about the idea of God giving us something and then taking it away.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Truly giving something is without expecting anything back or having any intention of relinquishing the gift. We're all familiar with the name given those people who take back gifts, "indian givers". The scripture verse "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" paints God as some kind of Indian-giver. Is God allowed to do that?
He has the power, of this I'm sure, but if he is of such a pure nature how is it that he can purely give and then take away and not be sending us mixed ideas of giving?
