Any...That belief is a spiritual pet peeve of mine! Anyone who looks at the lives of many people in the Bible (especially the prophets) will quickly realize that God often gives us WAY more than we can handle. I love your response though -- honest tears, then realizing all we have is Him. I'm sure you've heard the C.S. Lewis quotation about "God whispers to us in our joys, but shouts to us in our pain. Pain is the megaphone he uses to reach a deaf world." I paraphrased, but it's been so true in my life. The times I've been closest to God are during my greatest difficulties. Thanks for your transparency here.<br />NancyPeter and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329947206142706470noreply@blogger.com
