1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you that isn’t common for people. But God is faithful. He won’t allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. Instead, with the temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it." God will not allow people to be tempted beyond their abilities. That is, there is no temptation that you should feel you are powerless against, because God would not allow you to be tempted by something you couldn’t resist. If you’re being tempted, it’s something you are strong enough to resist. Our faithfulness is not demonstrated by how easily we are able to bear the burdens that come our way. Our faith is demonstrated by our recognition that we cannot bear the burdens ourselves and trust in the grace of God who bears them with us. The cross reminds us not only of the brokenness of the world, but also reminds us that in those times of suffering and pain, we are not alone. We encounter a God who stands with us in the suffering. A God who is not apart from that burden and pain, but one who is in it with us. TIL THE END! "NEVER HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR ABILITY TO BEAR A BURDEN!" "INSTEAD, PLACE YOUR TRUST IN THE ONE SETS YOU FREE FROM ITS WEIGHT!" "JESUS CHRIST!"
