Motivation Through Emotion
Without God’s involvement in the raw facts and events of reality, they carry no positive or negative value in themselves. They are simply events. Natural disasters like a tornado or wildfire happen on their own accord, doing what they do. Far less destructive events like a cool summer breeze or a rainbow after a rainstorm take place without any predetermined intention in themselves. Events with a human origin are also, on the face of it, mere moments in time. Weddings, funerals, a day at the beach, a scraped knee all occur as they do, as facts. Whatever happens factually becomes captured as a record in the annals of history as events.

But, despite what we might say, God will give us more than we can handle [or bear]. Rather, God will never allow us to be tempted [or tested] beyond what we are able to [handle or bear]. He will always provide a way for us [to escape and] to be faithful to Him, even when the pull toward a different path is as strong as it has ever been.’… So, whatever we are being confronted with, GOD will help us. We need GOD… on our own, we can do and accomplish nothing. But with God, we can do and endure everything.”
