I've really had to think about this lately. It's a hard lesson I've been having to learn over the years. When God blesses me with something, I tend to hold onto it as long as I possibly can. Sometimes some blessings are temporary though, so when He's taking it back, I refuse to let go until I literally can't hold on to it anymore. Why does he do that? Why does he give us something and then takes it away? Since I'm not God, I don't know why. I suppose it could be a number of reasons....
I guess when God blesses us with something, we need to hold onto those things loosely. Accept and be thankful for what he's given us, but when he wants it back, be ready to give it back to him. Now this doesn't mean he'll ALWAYS take away what he's blessed you with. But with the ones he does, he has his reasons and for all you know, he may bless you in a different way. He takes good care of us, even if it sometimes seems like he's spiting us. He's not spiting us, that's not in his nature and he can't be different from his nature.
Y'all, we need to trust God to take care of us. Let's be thankful for what he blesses us with, and be willing to give the things he wants back to him.
