“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Pr.13 ESV
Disappointment, to say the least is disappointing. I remember as a boy my parents would sometimes take us to “Holiday Beach” for a day of swimming. I would always get up early and look out the window for rain clouds having prayed the night before that it wouldn’t rain. If I remember right, there were clouds almost as many times as there weren’t and I would direct my disappointments to God. I would even dare to blame Him for ruining my day, after all who’s in charge of the clouds.
Now that I am older, I think one important lesson in life is learning to accept disappointments as a necessary part of life. To do that we make peace with what that God sends our way and humbly accept from His hand any alterations He makes to plans. 8/6/2010 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
