Re: Tests
Dear Susan, Yes, we are *supposed* to want more. But we don't do the determiantion of when we've had enough. Tests don't stop until we die in any case. It says in the Writings that God doesn't burden a soul beyond its capacity. I'm just wondering how one could determine what a person's capacity is, so as to know what being burdened beyond one's capacity would look like. According to the Writings those who have committed suicide obviously haven't been burdened beyond their capacity.

Re: Tests
Hello David, It says in the Writings that God doesn't burden a soul beyond its capacity. I'm just wondering how one could determine what a person's capacity is, so as to know what being burdened beyond one's capacity would look like. This is not a useful question, in my opinion. I don't think it's possible to know anyone's emotional, psychological or spiritual capacity. People sometimes rise to astonishing heights of accomplishments, beyond even what they expected of themselves. I'm not even sure of my own capacity. So I don't worry about what my capacity is, in most circumstances, I just try to do the best I can with whatever life throws at me. According to the Writings those who have committed suicide obviously haven't been burdened beyond their capacity. Someone else wrote that God never tests a person beyond their capacity to turn to God and ask His help. With God's help, one can overcome many problems, and with His help a person can abide with problems that cannot be overcome. However, in extreme circumstances, a person may choose not to turn to God, and by himself he may lack capacity to endure, and so may commit suicide. In that case, God did not test the person beyond his capacity, because by choosing not to turn to God, the person did not use the full capacity (God's help) that was available to him.

Re: Tests
I always thought the proverb in question applied any and all tests. Dear Dean, The context in which I've read the proverb did not say anything about tests whatsoever. It seems to have more to do with our not feeling over-burdened by obligations. Here are the contexts in which I found the passage: All the friends of God . . . should contribute to the extent possible, however modest their offering may be. God doth not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Such contributions must come from all centers and all believers. . . . O Friends of God! Be ye assured that in place of these contributions, your agriculture, your industry, and your commerce will be blessed by manifold increases, with goodly gifts and bestowals. He who cometh with one goodly deed will receive a tenfold reward. There is no doubt that the living Lord will abundantly confirm those who expend their wealth in His path. 'Abdu'l-Bahá, in Bahá'í Prayers, p. 84 (Compilations, NSA USA - Developing Distinctive Baha'i Communities) Although potentialities differ in degree, not a single soul is completely bereft of capacity. Indeed, progress in this world is dependent on that preordained measure and the manner in which people fulfill their God-given potentiality. Accordingly our responsibility is commensurate with our capacity, as it is said: God will not burden any soul beyond its capacity. (The Universal House of Justice, 1997 Mar, BAHA 154 - From Persian, To Iranian Believers) In both contexts the messages seems to be that we can all serve but no one should imagine that God wants us to be overburdened. Keeping that passage in mind can prevent burn-out. warmest, Susan The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments thereto (e-mail) is sent by the Johnson County Community College (JCCC) and is intended to be confidential and for the use of only the individual or entity named above.

Re: Tests
Are you saying you think the answer to my question Does God intervene to make bad things happen so as to test people? is yes? Asking surely indicates wanting God to intervene to make something happen? Dear David, I'm not one to speculate on what God will or will not do. I think of God as initimately involved with the universe, so much so that the molecules would not hold together without His constant involvement. But there is the Hidden Will of God and the Revealed Will. We can't hope to understand that Hidden Will by which holocausts and catastrophes occur. We need to focus on God's revealed Will through Baha'u'llah and follow His guidance as to how to grow through them. I don't think there is any profit in speculating about in what sense God is sending us tests.

Re: Tests
Hi Susan, Well, you could also ask for them. But God has been so bountiful to me on this account that I've never felt any compulsion to pray for tests. Are you saying you think the answer to my question Does God intervene to make bad things happen so as to test people? is yes? Asking surely indicates wanting God to intervene to make something happen?
