🔴 You Can Bear It

Written By Reason A. Chandler

Our minister of music has taught us a new song in the church I attend. And the words are; "He won't put more on you than you can bear, but if it's there, you can bear it."

But when the preparation process is complete, the potter knows our capacity.

Matthew 25:25 "So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you."
