It has been said to me that God will not allow for me to endure any burden I cannot bear; but, that is not written any where in the Bible, I believe it to be a lie from the pit of hell. There is only so much a man can lose before he feels there is nothing left. How much longer frens? How much longer?
There is so much corruption, so much evil against innocents and so much physical pain directed at the little ones and elder alike. So much meanness, callousness and darkness. I have a hard time believing in the goodness of humanity or if anyone cares enough to preserve life. Are there any protectors left in our country? How do any of you hold on when all appears lost?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.” Proverbs 3:5-6
First verse I ever memorized - it’s how I try to live my life because I’ve learnt over the years that “my own understanding” is not usually very good. When I can lean into Him and trust that He sees the bigger picture, I can let go of that feeling that all is lost and somehow it’s my job to fix it. This life is temporal - because of what Jesus did on Calvary, we can all have an eternal life with Him. What happens in this life doesn’t define me - my path to Him defines me.
