We are told so many different lies during our life. We can control what we believe and how we handle it. It gets really tricky when the lies are from people you trust, people that want the best for you, and most importantly are things you want to believe.
The one that sticks out the most and the one I have had stuck in my head is one I have heard over and over, from so many people. “God will never give you more than you can handle”. That is most definitely a lie. I have had a huge heaping helping of more than I can handle. Just when I think I have it whittled down to a manageable portion here comes the dump truck with the next load.
I know I’m not different than any of you, I know I don’t suffer through anymore than you do, and I’m most certainly not trying to start a pity party telling you how bad I have it. From the outside looking in I have it pretty good. I have a good job that pays my bills, I have a family that loves me, I have friends that care about me, and I am, apart from being overweight, very healthy.
I think what I am trying to accomplish is helping me, and maybe a few others to understand is that God most certainly will give you more than you can handle. He will allow you to be in a place where you see no light, you see no escape, maybe you don’t even see any hope. He doesn’t put you there because he doesn’t love you it’s the exact opposite. God allows us to fall into those pits so when we are looking for light we look to him. God will give you more than you can handle daily, what he won’t do is give you more than he can handle, and more importantly he won’t leave you alone to deal with it.
Every time you’re struggling, at the end of your rope, just trying to make it through one more day, and feeling like you are at the bottom of a big ‘ol steamin pile of more than you can handle, look to God. Let God give you strength, lean on his wisdom and not your own, and move is his direction, because that’s where our refuge is found.
As we struggle with day to day life never forget you’re not in this life alone. We are to love our God with all of our heart, with all of our mind, with all of our strength, and with all of our soul. Never forget the second command is like the first to love your brother as you do yourself.
I don’t know who this is for but call and tell them you love them. They need it and so do you.
I love you.
