It always seems unfair that those who cry and fail and break receive the wanted item – I’ve seen it happen – while I, who say, “Even what is dearest you may take away,” gain strength to lose. I don’t think he meant it that way, but Christ said, “To those who have, it shall be given, and from those who don’t have, it shall be taken away.” [i] Would that my fortitude had a better attitude [i] Matthew 13:12-13, Jesus says – “To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because ‘they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.’ ” Comments are closed.
