When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Understanding


So being on campus and listening to all the different crazy conversations that happen around me while I'm at work and around different types of people, I am more and more aware of how blessed I am. It amazes me how lost and confused so many people are. I like to talk to people and get their opinions as to why they get that tattoo and why they pierced their face fifty times, and they are always different answers, but they are almost ridiculous answers. It's just so they look pretty, which most of them are hideous, or to add something new to their skin, or because it's the in-fad. Either way, they are destroying their body just because of shallow reasons. In one of my classes I had to read about sexuality amongst teens. I couldn't believe the statistics and numbers concerning these teens and what they were doing. They knew things they shouldn't even consider until after marriage, and even then it was inappropriate. It makes me realize how blessed I am that I know the truth and I feel clean and I'm able to walk into this house of the Lord and feel worthy. I love the fact that this gospel enfolds me in it's arms and makes me feel loved and comforted. No where else could that happen!
