So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. - 1 Cor 10:12-13

Life only gets harder as the years go by. If you do decide to care for people, the enemy will always find a way to hurt you the most.

On our own capacity, it will not only be painful but it will also be a battle we can never win. Thats the honest truth.

The Bible is filled with promises of endurance and God not letting us go. Yes, we will have to brave through the storms. Storms that can hurt us physically, emotionally, mentally. Storms that will shake us to the core. But God has been true to His end of the promise. He is there with us. The hand to hold. The One to hold on to. The One who will help us pick up the pieces and make us whole again. It only gets harder when we fight it.

The world may shun Him. Try to prove He is no longer relevant. It will try to imitate the work He has made. But the day will come when all will fall short.

I thank the Lord for getting us through the hardest climbs. But I am also grateful that our Father has been there even through the smallest of trips, scratches and tear.

It can be done. Not alone.
