DISAPPOINTMENTS

The only thing certain about life is uncertainty. Our plans, dreams, and goals may end in glorious victory or frustrating defeat. Those we trust may remain loyal or they may betray our confidence. Such is the nature of life.

We don't have to be defeated by disappointment. Negativity surrounding disappointment exists more in our minds than in reality. It's not the event, but our interpretation of it that causes pain.

We set ourselves up for disappointment when we forget that God is in control of our circumstances. Our perspective is often different from God's.

Lamentations 3:22-24 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul: therefore will I hope in Him.

Next time you find yourself suffering from disappointment, whether with circumstances or with people, remember that God is faithful and is concerned with the best for your life whether you understand now or not. Just trust God.
