What do I have that has not been given to me? Job 1:21

When you loose someone who is close ( a trusted friend, a spouse, a pet even), you have 2 choices—- why was that taken from me? Or you can say, why was that given at all to me? Why did I deserve that moment of love...why was I even given that time with that person? In truth we can only say God gives & God takes away. Blessed is the name of God.

Now, think of this in regards to my [our] sins and His righteousness, in justification.

1 Peter 2:24 KJB - Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Romans 5:17 KJB - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

John 3:16 KJB - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
​
We can see also the taking away of the filthy rags, and the giving of the righteous robes:

Zechariah 3:4 KJB - And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.​

Then think of it also in regards to Acts 1:11 KJB in the ascension of Jesus, and Pentecost [Psalms 133:1-3; Acts 2:1-6; Revelation 5:6 KJB] and the descent of the Holy Ghost in power:

Acts 1:11 KJB - Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Revelation 5:6 KJB - And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
​
Thus:

Job 1:21 KJB - "... the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."​

... be to God, and all glory to God in the highest! :)

1 Corinthians 4:7 KJB - For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

1 Corinthians 11:23 KJB - For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

Job 28:20 KJB - Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

Proverbs 2:6 KJB - For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.​
