Just some thoughts.

"God does not give you that which you cannot handle."

This quote has given me comfort at times. I have also shared it with those who are in stressful situations. Lately, however, I have been giving it a lot of thought.

I have lived a relatively comfortable life. I have never experienced something truly traumatic. I listen to people's stories, and my heart breaks, but at this point in time I really can't empathize, because I have not experienced the thing that is burdening them.

Does this mean, that I am not a strong person, because I have not been given truly hard trials in my life? However, I am not asking for these trials either. That's the same as asking to be made humble - You don't want to go there ;) But I'm truly hoping that it doesn't mean I can't handle a lot. I really feel like I could. Even now, with the stress and sadness that I am experiencing, I know that no matter what, I will be able to get through it, and in the end, become a stronger person than I was before - Especially with the help of my family, friends, and most importantly, my savior.
