There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
One thing I have learned is that everyone has some kind of struggle they are going through. Each persons walk is different, but each person has some type of burden they carry, whether it be health, drugs, family issues, loneliness, depression, or a personal loss. They may seem happy on the outside, but once you dig deeper, there is always something. Every person I know has a story they can tell about some type of pain that they have experienced in their lives. We pass people everywhere we go and we don't know what weight they are carrying.
Sometimes we are absolutely oblivious that another person may be going through something difficult because we are too focused on our own problems. We need to take a moment and be kind to each person we come in contact with. It may only be an exchanged smile or a kind word, or it may be a light conversation that turns into something more. Don't let your bad day make another persons day even worse. You may be the difference in their life that they need at that moment; The light in their day that makes them want to know more about how you handle your own struggles. If they have not come to know Jesus as Savior, you may just be the light that changes their life.
God tells us that struggles are part of this life. They mold us and shape us into who we are. But he does not let that struggle go beyond what we are capable of handling. Thank you Lord for going through the struggles with me and helping me to conquer them.
