There are two major categories of disappointment:
Has a Person Disappointed You?
When we place our expectations on people, we are usually disappointed. Has a close friend turned away from you? Has someone betrayed you? If you have set your hopes on your children being all you want them to be, you could be headed for a huge letdown. Did you marry, thinking your husband would meet all your needs? I have to tell you something: No man can meet all of a woman’s needs, and no woman can meet all of a man’s needs. God made us with a vacant space in our innermost being that only He can fill. So He will always let us experience disappointment with people so that we are driven to find fulfillment in Him.
Are You Disappointed in Your Circumstances?
If our joy depends on circumstances, we are in trouble, because circumstances are always changing. There are too many variables for them to remain the same. Did you expect a promotion, and someone less qualified got the job instead? Has illness interrupted and permanently altered the plans you had for your family? Has a divorce you never wanted radically changed your circumstances?
2nd Corinthians 1:3-4–God will comfort us in our afflictions.
Romans 8:31-39–No matter how bad things seem, nothing can separate us from God’s love.
Hebrews 13:5-6–God will not forsake you.
Philippians 4:4-7–Have no anxiety about anything, PRAY.
James 1:12–Blessed is the man who endures trials.
God has an open communication line, through prayer, that we can talk to Him. He will never give up on us or forsake us. He will be there in time of need. Talk to Him, let Him speak through his word, you’ll be amazed how quick your life will turn around!! You have cried the tears, gathered yourself, and got your life fixed. All is well!!
SMILE God loves YOU!! Have a good day all.
