I...A big ol' **AMEN!!!!** to this post, Ginny! I whole-heartedly agree with everything you said. And might I add YOU to that list of wonderful AP's who have set an example in my life. You have ministered to my heart on several occasions over the past couple of years, and I am so grateful that God has placed each of you in my life and crossed our paths as He did. Such a beautiful community of faithful believers and servants of Christ! I have learned so much through many of you! <br /><br />And thank you for nipping that old expression "God will never give you more than you can handle" in the bud! Seriously, that always gets to me. I know most people mean well when they say it; but it is not backed up by the word, so it has always bothered me. In a way, I've always thought it also defers blame to God in a way. How can God be love, but yet bring bad things our way. He can't... and He doesn't. He allows things, but He does NOT cause them. The Bible says to not so much as even SAY that adversity comes from the Lord. Because we are all free moral agents, God allows things, and then if we are Believers, hopefully what the enemy intended for evil, we will allow God to turn around for some good. It's a never ending learning, growing and refining process ~ that's for certain! <br /><br />Thank you for this post. You are a blessing on SO many levels, my friend! <><<br /><br />Hugs,<br />TanyaTanyaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06273839306382041488noreply@blogger.com
