I bet these questions are real old. I'm not even a regular around here and I can tell.

People still ask this?
The problem is with the question. It's a contradicting question. Any object is a finite thing. It is bound by physical properties. In order for God to make it so big He couldn't lift it, he would have to make an object of infinite proportions. However, it would cease to be an object (anything that is visible or tangible and is relatively stable in form) if it was of infinite, therefore intangible size.
So the question is a categorical error. It's like saying can God make a circle square. So the logical fallacy is in the question.

God can make an object of any scale, and lift an object of any scale.

No: but He can make an object so big, that no one but Him can life it.

God's Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say 'God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it,' you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words 'God can.'... It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives; not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.

If an object couldn´t be mastered by God he wouldn´t be Almighty, as a result he wouldn´t be God.
By the way, Jesus loves you, he died on the cross FOR YOU!!

You still do not know the answer of this old question?
First of all learn to write God with Capital letter.

God's not as good as he's cracked-up to be. He can't even lift people's spirits sometimes. And they're not heavy at all!
