What about the people with broken spirits and broken hearts that will never heal. People who lose so much they will never be the same, never be happy again. Like the person who is laid off from a job, only to get a better higher paying one soon after. But that is not always the case. Some people have trauma, and they never recover from it.
Bad things happen and thats all they are, are bad things.
So what do you think of this 'saying' that 'God never gives us more than we can handle'. What do you think of these platitudes. Maybe I just have a negative attitude. I thank God for those wonderful Words, there are many times in my life that they have gotten me through horrible situations. The old ''what doesn't kill you , will make you stronger'' is another one.
