sometimes, I just can't go on.
so there, here it is.
sometimes, it is just all a bit much.
just read a great blog, by a great pastor out there... titled: God will allow more than you can bear ( alone)
ha.... had to click on that one when I read it in a tweet by Ron Edmondson..
he says that somewhere along the line Christians have believed a lie.. the lie that God will never give us more than we can handle...
and as a result we are feeling guilty when those "sometimes" come along..
sometimes life is just unbearable..
it plain sucks.. it hurts too much and it overwhelms us..
he says nowhere in the Bible does it say this.. he points out, and rightly so that it says that we will never be tempted beyond what we can stand up under, as in find a way to escape and not give in to sin...
but turmoil and trial, disappointment and pain????? always able to handle that?
in my 48 years of life I have had my share of those times.. and, compared to others I have had it "easy peasy pumpkin eater" like my little niece calls it..
so what's up with that?????
He allows the times we just cannot handle our life so that we have nowhere else to go than to Him..
because without Him the mudslide is going to bury us and that was it..
but with Him.. well, with Him, who is strong when we are weak.. with Him, we can do all things...
relying on Him to hold us up under the pressure, difficulty and plain saddening reality of life.. with Him we can overcome.. we can have joy in the suffering, beauty in the turmoil and we can make it through another day..
True.. that's why I am loving this picture.... instead of avoiding looking at it because it symbolizes something I thought I might find just for it to fall apart..
Thanks be to God and Him alone.. #SoliDeoGloria
