sometimes I say to the Lord,
this is too much. You have given me too much
but then I remember what I asked him
and I remember how much more so many people have
been through- that Joseph had a woman he could never
have, a child that would never be his, and instructions
to go on a journey to a country that enslaved his people
because the authorities in his own country were out to ****
his family. And I dare look at the Lord and say,
"You have given me too much" when martyrs
have died, Daniel came out of the lion's den,
many men went into the flames saying, "if not,
He is still good", guns have been pressed to heads
with the question "are you a Christian" and the response
could mean death, and life; or life, and death.
How dare I look at the Lord and say,
"You have given me too much"?
I cannot. I daren't.
