How much you can bear

I have always heard the saying that God won't allow more to be put on you than what you can bear.When you are going thru something whether it be caused by something you did or may it be something that occurred due to something you cannot control.God knows how much each of us can deal with.Whatever the situation you happen to be faced with there is a lesson to be learned and personal and spiritual growth will occur from your experience.

I snapped on someone who has been a thorn in my side this morning.I mean I went off like a crazed person and afterwards I felt bad because I knew it was not the reaction I should have given to them pushing my buttons.I am also upset because I know that I will have to repeat this test until I have the reaction I am supposed to have which will be to acknowledge that the enemy is working thru this person to try to keep me snapping and reacting to him.Please pray for me that I overcome this.

I watched a movie the other night and the ending was what many of us do in a sense.We can be so close to a miracle or breakthrough but we get so tired and frustrated of waiting,waiting,waiting!It seems like an eternity when you are going thru something and need immediate results.If results don't come when we think they should we act on our own and the results can be disastrous!In the movie "the mist"there was a car of 5 people a father&son&lady in the front and two elderly people were sitting in the back seat .They were trying to escape large demon like creatures that appeared in the mist and then their car ran out of gas.They had seen what the creatures had done to others so they decided that their only way out was to take the gun that only had 4 bullets and commit suicide .The father shot his young son and the other passengers in the car and stepped out of the vehicle to await the monster who would surely kill him.Much to his surprise the mist started to dissipate,and he saw army vehicles with people they had rescued.The army men were burning the remains of the creatures that were in the mist.If he would have held on a little longer he would have been saved,his son would still be alive.
Don't give up when you are going thru something your salvation from the problem could just be a minute,hour or day away.
