When you lose someone/ something dear to you
“Remember the story of the gardener who missed a choice rose but who could not complain because the Master had plucked it? Do you feel that it is just so with all that you have, if He takes it. Oh yes why should He not take it? If I were to go about my house and take something down from the walls would anybody say a word to me? For it is mine. And surely we will let God be Master in His house; where we are only children, He shall take whatever He pleases of all He has lent us for a while” (Charles Spurgeon)
Every day we hear of lives being torn apart, but we are only the custodians of our loved ones, they belong to God as He is their creator. We are merely the gardener in the garden looking after His garden. He may move or pluck any seed or plant in the garden, our job is just to tend to it the best we can. To water the garden to nurture it and to cherish it
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him (Job 13:15)
