When Is It Too Much?
By Mark Flippo
1 Peter 1:6-7 - Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
James 1:12 - Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
It seems to say that our struggles come from temptations. God does not send them our way so He can know how we will react. He wants you to know how you will react and what you need to have changed in your life to be more like Jesus! Like the old expression says "If you are so Heavenly minded you are of no earthly good!" For your info that means He can't use you until you get a good dose of Humble Pie! By the way it is a very uncomfortable feeling! So if you feel like your head is about to explode, just stop and pray and ask for His help to bear this problem. He will keep you if you learn to Trust Him. He loves you too much to leave you in your sin! He wants you to come up higher with Him.
