Thomas A Kempis

When I have given something, it is still Mine; when I take it away again, I take nothing that belongs to you, because every good and perfect gift belongs to Me.

​

If I send you trouble or affliction, do not complain nor become depressed.  Soon I may lift you up again and turn all your sorrow into joy.  Know this: I am just, and all praise is due Me when I deal with you thus.

​

The Imitation of Christ, p. 161-162
