Breaking the silence
“God will never give you more than you can handle.” It’s what Christians love to say when we don’t know what to say. It is a cliché that we try to pass off as biblical comfort when, in reality, it is anything but. The fact is that statement isn’t biblical; actually it stands in stark contrast to what the Bible teaches us.
Why do I even bother? I should just give up! What’s the point of trying? I’ll never do anything right! I always screw things up! Maybe I’m just not supposed to succeed. I guess I’m just not that good. I don’t even matter. Why try? I guess they were right; I just can’t do it. Do any of these sound familiar? I know for a fact I have thought or said each of these on multiple occasions. Quite simply, they are the clichés of a loser.
