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?
I feel your pain, friend. I have been there, in places of despair where the heartache and confusion of loss seemed unbearable. I confess I did not do well. Even so, God didn’t throw me away or leave me to the wolves. He was faithful to me even when I couldn’t bring myself to trust Him. In those times He did answer my honest prayers when I asked for some specific things that would make my suffering bearable. “If I can’t avoid this, at least do this for me.” It made me know that He knew my pain and had not forsaken me, and I was able to get through to the other side, even if I couldn’t see the end of it. I only say these things to show that even when we feel hopeless or confused, we are not forsaken.
I see the same things you do out in the world, the gross darkness that seems to be taking over people’s hearts. I do not think it is new in terms of having never happened before in a society, but I think in this case it is the exposure of what was already there, the corruption in people who lied to themselves to be convinced that their bad motivations were actually good ones. To be good one has to honestly face what is bad inside, and we are seeing what happens in people who never do that, going from one bad choice to another until everything good that once restrained them is gone.
Most people do not understand how far we have fallen as a nation, but we are not the only ones who traded our glory for trash. It was done to us by evil people over time, but we let it happen, scoffing at warnings of danger to live our lives and giving into the despair that nothing could be done. At one time the latter was true, but not anymore because God has changed the program.
It is a time of shaking. God is shaking the whole world to see what remains. The vibrations have been increasing since they began, and the shaking won’t stop until God is satisfied. Evil can’t stand up to that, and it will certainly fall, but good people feel it, too, as their own stability or lack of it is exposed. We are going to be very surprised in some cases. Some people we thought to be good will get exposed for being evil in secret and some people we thought to be bad will weather the shaking very well. Only God knows, but everyone is about to see what He knows because the skeletons are being heaved out of the closets to rattle out the front doors into the street. They’ve been trying to keep those bones quiet, but all that they can do will be of no use. They are finding out what a fight with God really means.
God give you grace to stand. May you perceive His mercies whenever they appear, and may you feel His love for you, which cannot be measured. May your vindication and peace, when it comes, be like a green valley protected by mountains, where sorrows are forgotten and your pain fades like dream you cannot remember.
