Born of the Spirit: My TestimonyDarkness was what I mastered. In its guile, I drifted. On its terrains, I rested. Its cheap sway, I fostered. Bid others, “Come join me in its pursuits.” But I was turned to rubble,thrown into a hollow. Life, then, was ceaseless sorrow, trapped in constant struggle.

Last year, I had the rare privilege of studying women of the Bible with Chinese women in Beijing. We were cramped in a one-bedroom apartment not too far from where my team’s hotel was.

No, He Wouldn’t
I am not sure when I first heard this encouragement: God will never give you more than you can bear. He will give you only what you can handle.
