Stretched

Personal and spiritual growth
is like a rubber band ...

Stretched beyond our limits, 
or so we think .... we'll snap

We need only to remember .... 
Who is doing the stretching

For He will not take us farther
beyond what we are able to endure

It hurts, its uncomfortable, we may even cry
but we come out stronger for it

We grow in wisdom, we grow in love
as to what others are going through

Yes, that rubber band may stretch
but it will never break in His loving Hands
