"no more than we can handle..."

I just finished reading Jeremia 29:11-14a:
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.

You have no idea how tightly I am clinging to that scripture right now. God promises to never put on us any more than we can handle....I'm keeping hold of that promise and keeping my eyes on Him!

God is constant. Family and friends may come and go, but He is always there...sustaining me, holding me, loving me, forgiving me, cleansing me, healing me and showing me mercy and grace even though I don't come close to deserving it. He loves me....despite myself, He loves me....the real me....just as I am.
