Entry 4- YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

"Just tell me as it is! I want you to tell me the truth!" 

How often have you uttered this statement or a similar one? How often has this statement been said to you?

A lot of the time, we want people to come clean to us; be it financially, emotionally as well as physically. But, can you really handle the truth you ask for?

Do we pray for strength to handle the truth we seek?

Personally, in previous situations, I would legit forget about God and go out in search of this truth forgetting I am only human and may not be able to handle the results of my bold trip.

Without the Holy Spirit guiding us, I know you know that we aren't at all ready for the truth because we have no protection and comfort from Our Father but somehow, we still aren't prepared for results and I honestly wonder why.



More often than not, before we go seeking the truth, we've already assumed what these 'said truths' are because we are doing this alone and that shouldn't be the case.
In our weak, fragile minds, we know these revelations might just result in tears, hurt, sorrow yet, we still get broken down- why?

Why do we go looking for truths we can't handle then? Why do we seek these truths without God?

God's probably up there thinking these ones are getting too big for their boots- Let me just allow them to feel a little pinch of pain so they are reminded that they can't do this truth seeking without me.

When we pray to God we realize that God won’t give you something you can’t handle! It’s a nice, cozy idea in theory but it quickly clashes with real life. This is where you should accept that He has given you the tools to handle life's hurdles but that doesn't mean it's going to be an easy journey.

1 Cor. 10:13 teaches us that God won’t give you more than you can handle which is true but this doesn't mean it will be all smooth sailing.

Prayer for today: 

Father, teach us to trust that you won't give us more than we can handle. Let us know that even when we go out seeking the truth, we can depend on you to take us through the responses we get; and at the end of the day declare: I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH! In Jesus' name have we prayed. Amen.
