Is it true that God, never gives you more than you can handle?

Question

I've always been told that, being born from a Christian mother. As soon as she died when I was 9, my life took a complete turn into HELL. My father couldn't handle it, at first and send me to live with friends. Then when I was 11 he wanted me to move back with him and adjust to his new live-in girlfriend who went out of her way to treat me like S H I T. She told me " No one loves you like a mother, and I'm NOT your mom. She even would take her grownass 20 and 24 yrs old daughters to dinner and a shopping spree while I'm left at home crying. You know what, none of that matters now. What DOES matter is that I'm struggling trying to find a decent job and go to school to be a massage therapist. It's just I find it so difficult to go through each day without her. Once your mom dies you never get over it! I have been suicidal but theres just something inside me that keeps pushing on through life. I don't feel like a stronger person because she's gone and I've been dysfunctional since.

Answer 1

Mystique, Do not lose hope. Your mother will soon be resurrected and join you in a new and better life. The Bible refers to the life after Armageddon as "the real life" because it will be so much better. I am so sorry that your experiences have been so bad. Perhaps you can find a way to help others who have gone through or are going through similar things. This will help the time to pass more quickly before you and your Mom are reunited again. She loved you and that is obvious from the fact that you are so attached to the memory of her. God also remembers her and when she is resurrected, she will be young, strong, healthy and happy. Read your Bible every day. Ask God to remove all obstacles to your being close to him. You have much to look forward to--try not to look back.

Answer 2

Well, it sounds that you are really feeling down. I have so much to say i dont even know where to start. The power within you is so much greater than whats outside of you. I believe you can turn your situation around right now, regardless of where you are. The best way of doing this is to use the inside-out approach. Find inner peace first then whatever the outside circumstances will begin to change for the better. I have been in a situation where i felt suicidal, but some ebooks I read online have changed my life completely. I now realise that the power is within to change anything. I am now able to manifest ideal situations in my life. visit www.thesecret.tv they have a good DVD which i believe will be able to help you. Also visit www.ecanhappen.com
where you can download some very helpful ebooks for FREE.If what you are saying is really true and you need help then i believe these books should be able to point you in the right direction and bring the change you seek. Also seek material from Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer, and also visit http://christianlarson.wwwhubs.com/. Here you can read some inspiriational book samples from a wide range of authors for free. All the best!

Answer 3

Yes. it is true. This is what it says in the Bible at 1 Corinthians 10: 13..." No temptation (or persecution) has taken YOU except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation (persecution) he will also make the way out in order for YOU to be able to endure it." Obviously, God has given you strenght to make it this far. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Please, do not loose hope! A time will come (and it is soon) that God will soon bring an end to all death, sickness, pain, & sorrow. He will then bring back to life those who fell asleep in death and your mom could be one of them! Pray to God to help you to continue to endure and help you find inner peace and happiness. I assure you, HE will answer your prayer. Remember, their is the resurrection hope! Do not be discouraged. Continue your fight to survive and be a good person. You may not feel or think that you are strong but YOU ARE. I hope and pray that you will soon find a good job. I, myself is studying to be a massage therapist...and I hope you get what you are working hard for! TAKE CARE!!!

I am so sorry that you have had to experience that.Your mother was right though God never does give you more than you can handle.Look at all of the things you have gone through and still you continue to keep going.Though you may not see it now those situations have made you stronger.You are right none of that does matter now,just keep the memories that you do have of your mom close to your heart and know that she wants you to succeed and is watching over every moment of your life.Good luck honey,keep the past in the past and keep moving forward.

Answer 5

well ido believe that God does not give you more then you can handle. yes, i am sorry your mom is gone and i know for fact that step moms are generally horrible it doens't matter they can't give you the love you need and can't replace orhelp with that lose you hae. but you know what your dad did want you and wanted you to be part of family and i am sorry its like this but hey standup and be counted and get yourself together and move on don't kill yourself. it would only cause grife to those that love you and there are many i am sure and your dad would also miss you do dearly. just keep it up and someday you'll have a family on your own and your mom can look on you sometimes and you'll beable to feel it i am sure take care.

Answer 6

One can easily see why you may think that God sometimes gives us more than we can handle; at the time you are going through hell, you may wonder if God had not forsaken you after all.

Your step-mother (and you) may not realize it at the time, but she was actually laying the foundation for a stronger person. Take the challenge to see the Cinderella in you rather than a victim, and sooner than you know it, your prince will come along.

Answer 7

It is true that God never give you more you can carry. Are you not still alive? Are you not getting your life together? Are you not going to school to get a career? So I think if you look at the stuff that is happening in you life, then you will see that you are a strong person on the inside and out.

P.S. I believe the thing from the inside that is stopping you from killing yourself is the Holy Ghost. So you won't go to hell and so you can help other person who had to suffer like you did in life. So please: If you haven't ,accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, pray to God, ask him to help heal you pain, and ask him for direction in life.

Answer 8

God is on your side, He has a plan for your life. Yes, you've been
through some really bad stuff. If you have placed your faith
in Jesus Christ as your Savior, HE wants you to know HIM. The
only way we learn is through HIS book, the Bible. Pray to find a
good church that teaches Bible-Doctrine and learn of HIM. He
brings peace and will help you in every aspect of your life. You
can honor HIM in your life. I will pray for you, even tho' I don't know your real name, HE does! You are a perfect candidate for HIS Grace, Love in Christ Name!

Answer 10

If we got what we can handle, why are there addicts for one? Why are people continuously wrecking relationships and delving into bandkrupcies, jail, plastic surgery followed by disfigurement among things?
A lot of things have been hard for me. Although, I've been strenghten, it's crippled me in ways: trust, being able to depend people, opening up, trembling easy.
It varies.
