TESTS vs. GRACE????

"We are tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism and even senseless tragedies. But the good news is that GOD wants us to pass the tests of life; so HE never allows the tests we face to be greater than the grace HE gives." Good day everyone!

Thank you so much, gtloquero. That was a very inspiring message, especially at a time when I feel that I am at my lowest ebb. Yes, all problems shall pass, these problems can't be greater than my capability to handle it, with the grace He gives me. I may be down today and I know I can't get down any lower. The next step would only be to go up. But how can anyone think positively when beset with heavy trials. Your message came at a most opportune time, so let me thank you with all my heart and wish you God's blessings everyday.

I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for your post because it is so encouraging. I admire the order in which you have worded your discussion because first you described how we will be tested, but then you stated limitations of these tests, and they are that God will never ask us to deal with anything His grace will not see us through. What a wonderful thought to give us peace. I don't think the timing could've been better because this is the last discussion I will respond to before going to bed. Your words of truth and wisdom will be close to me in my thoughts this evening as I go to sleep. Your words are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for sharing. This is truly beautiful!

Thanks for posting these kinds of messages. Yes, I do believe in that, that no problem is greater than what we can solve, individually and collectively. God made us special in that way. We are constantly challenged in every turn of the page of our lives. But...we are coming out of the fire into a perfect mold of glass.

gold is tried in the fire. The more it undergoes purification the more luminous it will appear. If gold is covered under the ash it may momentously get stained but then the more you use it the more it will shine
