Some days I feel like have nothing to give. I am running on empty. I got nothing left. I usually feel this way when I am trying to live life in my own strength. If I keep running full steam ahead, checking things off my to do list, and trying to juggle it all, by the end of the day I am wiped out. I have totally been the mom asleep on the couch at 8 o’clock at night while my kids are still running around playing, and I wake up wondering how I am going to make it through the bedtime routine. In those moments I also marvel that they still have so much energy at that time of day. I was reminded by a friend this week that the old saying, “God does not give us more than we can handle.” is a lie. God wants us to cry out to him, when we have nothing left to give. Actually, I am sure that He wants to call out to us before we get to that point, but I admit I am stubborn sometimes. I get to that point of total depletion, before crying out to him. I am so thankful that in those times that I am in my greatest need that I can find comfort, rest, and peace in Christ.
Our God is so good to meet us at our greatest need. He does not give us more than we can bear. Although, I know at times we seem depleted and lack hope. He is there waiting for us to cry out and will give His enduring love at a moment’s notice. Thanks for sharing.
