I believe that Christ gives us more than we can handle.
On October 3rd
2005 my world was flipped upside down. My mother had been sick with cancer for 7 years, she passed away
peacefully early in the morning. I leaned
on the Lord throughout my mother’s illness and afterward, dealing with her
death, I have always clung to Christ.
Whenever she would get really sick one thing people always said to me was
“Brittany, God won’t give you or you family more than you can handle.” That little
phrase, or “cliché” actually helped me a lot, it helped to remember that God
was not going to throw me TOO much (even though it felt like He was). After my mothers death I began to think about
this phrase, because once again people were reminding me of it. I began to pray about what this all meant for
my life and how I was supposed to function without a mother, it’s a constant
struggle, some days are good and then there are the times when I just want my
mommy, haha. But what I realized is that
God DOES give us more than we can handle, because that’s the beauty of God,
that everything He allows to happen in our lives He handles it and He can
handle anything!
handle. I believe that it will be in those times that God will receive the most
glory. I believe that God will get me
through everything that is thrown at me in this life.
Yes, you are so right.
We get more than we can handle so we learn to rely on Him and let him take care of everything because only He can.
You put up a unique thought. Thanks.
Brittany,
I absolutely love you! I’d never seen that phrase in that light before. Thank you for sharing your insight 🙂
This is really cool Brittany!
Brittany, this was so amazing it got me choked up…I’m so glad we have a God who holds our hand and gets us through in victory no matter what the situation. I’m thankful as well that you have been able to keep your eyes fixed on him to be able to see this rather than look at the pain and feel lost and overwhelmed.
