Life can bring the greatest joys and the
most painful sufferings.
Recently, I've seen two different Facebook friends share two different articles speaking of how God does give us more than we can handle. It is true.
The phrase
"God will not give you more than you can handle" is a man made
cliche. It is a man made lie. The Scriptures say no such thing. In fact, they say quite the opposite.
If you want quick proof, read 2 Corinthians
1:8-10:
"For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life; indeed, we had the sentence of death within ourselves so that we would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead; who delivered us from so great a peril of death, and will deliver us, He on whom we have set our hope. And He will yet deliver us..."
If you'd like to do some further reading about this subject, I’ve listed below some related links. One of them is from a woman who just went through the death of her father, and the other one is my own thoughts about the truth that in life we are afflicted beyond what we feel we can bear.
