We love the phrase “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” It sounds empowering. It sounds responsible. But it is not biblical. Paul actually writes the opposite. He says they were burdened beyond their strength, and despaired of life itself. Why would Scripture admit that? Because faith was never meant to prove your toughness. It was meant to expose your limits. That matters, especially for older believers who were taught to endure quietly. You survived wars, losses, illnesses, disappointments—without complaint. And now you feel tired, and ashamed of the tiredness. But the Bible does not honor self-sufficiency. It honors dependence. Grace enters where strength ends. Not before. If life finally feels like more than you can handle, that may not be failure. It may be the first honest place faith was always meant to live. #BibleMisconceptions #GraceOverStrength #ChristianAging #FaithAndWeakness #DidYouKnow
