‘God gives and God takes…’

Praying to God (Photo by MART PRODUCTION on Pexels.com)

I did a few surveys with cancer patients many years ago, about life with cancer… patients from private as well as public hospitals.

I remember this philosophical view from a Muslim woman with breast cancer.

“Doctor told me I came in late for treatment. He gave me the most,… two years. But I believe that God is the one who gives us life, God only will decide when to take me…”

God gives and God takes.
Yes that is the ultimate truth.
Only HE decides what to give, when to give, whom to give and similarly for taking back.
One remember that never become unhappy.
Regards 🙏
