Praise God. His strength is amazing. Without it, it is impossible. Thank Jesus for his strength and not my own. Thank you for this blessing it was truly encouraging. God bless and have a wonderful day.
Thank you, Mike. Thank you so much. I think the only ones who understand the deep need for bread and rest are those (like you), who have been at that place of exhaustion. Those who understand the physical needs of the saints and who would never rebuke you for not “bucking up and facing the music.”
Exactly right. No place for platitudes, only the love of Jesus who invites us to come to Him for rest, and brings us into a yoke that is "easy" and a burden that is "light".
Thank you. I have saved this to look at on the days I will need it. I tell God, very honestly, how I feel & what my needs are. He knows anyway. I know he will provide what is best, in His way & in His perfect timing.
It stikes me as interesting how people love to say that God won't give you more than you can handle, but He often does as illustrated here. I am in this constant state at this time due to my husband. First, he had stage 4 brain cancer. He had been extremely healthy & strong before this and was full of life & dreams. Then in early August, he died. I was in another room, maybe 5' away, not at his bedside, as I had wanted to be. It is now my kids & me left to move forward without him.
I had many struggles in that time of caregiving and there has been a constant seemingly unending barrage since and many times, I've said similar things. But, God keeps providing in so many ways, large and small. It is humbling and amazing. He is constantly busy doing things I don't even know.
Thank you for your encouragement today. It was a perfect message.
I'm so sorry you lost your husband and your children lost their father. What an absolute devastation I am sure. May the Lord be very near to you and comfort as only He can.
My dear, I’ll tell you something a friend said to me when I left my dying father to get a cup of tea. He died and I had only just stepped out of the room. My wise friend said this happens frequently. People feel free to “go” when even the closest loved one is not there. Peace to you.

A very encouraging post.
