Dear Paulo,

I agree with the quote and that is the reason I do not complain in moments of try, pain and difficulties.
If The Lord believes I can handle it, who am I to doubt ?

Lots of love
Luce

I love this quote because it really holds true enough. God really knows the extent of our capabilities, and I believe with the old saying that God gives us burden…also shoulders…to make us stronger and better.

Tonight, I believe God demands of me to lay down flat on the sofa and do nothing.

How simple and how tough, to know that its all here, but unable to release but in a few spontaneous sparks. Why can it be so tough to clarify what is holding me back? or isn’t it?

yes I believe fully in that statement -God only gives us that for which we can handle ..and that is a beautiful clip Cat = what ever u do in life do it with LOVE ..
Be thankful for the lessons and karma – with love and this turns around , then you are not so blaming of the things in your life ..We are all capable of handling more! than we think or imagine we can ..Blessing Tania

I believe the Lord knows our hearts more than we can ever fathom. He knows us so intimately that He knows of what we are capable, and of what we are not. It is we who think in small terms, not God. He knows our vast potential. He is all-knowing,seeing, loving, and always wanting the best for us. He believes far more in our capabilities and successes than we do. He only awaits for us to discover our own potential.

can you believe that I was remembering this sentence, just some minutes before I saw it in the blog?
It is the right sentence to describe the present moment that I’m living, Paulo thanks for every word

Yes, though we can demand all. That’s the sizeable difference we must admit. :)

The Lord demands wants US to be Love and to fulfill ONE SIMPLE Path here on EARTH….It is sooo simple! If You Write- then Write with Love, If You sing, then Sing with Love…..
Whatever You do in LIFE…….
Do It with LOVE……..

There is absolutely No reason To complicate things……We are all on the same path–Love is the every, only thing that does Not fall away….
Do everything You can in Your daily Life, with Passion, Positivity and Loving Intention……..

ALL LOVE=cat

We must always do our utmost with our talents, capabilities, circustances and act according to our conscience. There is a saying: ‘God gives us only so much burden, as we can carry’.
LOVE,
THELMA

I think yes,and he helps us when he know we need support,because the burden is to heavy for our shoulders.Many time we underestimate our powers,but when in need,we find the right way to solve problems.
