Why God takes our Loved Ones

 
Have you ever been angry with God because He took away a loved one? You pleaded with Him to restore them to health. You earnestly petitioned the Lord that your beloved might remain with you. You did this because you loved them and couldn't bear to be parted. When God took them, you felt bitter and hurt. 
 
Has it ever occurred to you that God called them home because He loves them even more than you do? He desires their company more than you, and He can provide for them in ways you never could. 
 
"The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."
Job 1:21
