Too many times we forget that God knows our strengths and weaknesses better than we do. We grumble about everything at times. To go through life without grumbling would be patiently bearing our cross.

Then we get to thinking that God is going to tax us more than we can bear. The trueth is that we are uncomfortable. It is good to be reminded that God is not going to let us be tempted beyond our ability. Trusting Him for that and continualy remembering that will help us bear our cross.

Stavrophila: ...what is easy for one is difficult for another person. she noted. So how is everyone able to carry the cross?...

Angel:... If people do not burden their animal with a load larger than they are capable of carrying, do you think the Lord would send more temptations and misfortunes to a man than he could endure?...
