We’ve all have been disappointed by someone or something at sometime in our lives. Lately it seems as though I have been overwhelmed with disappointment and heart break. I know that God has a plan for my life and that He uses everything in it for the good, but I still don’t quite understand why I have to go through all this. Sometimes I feel the weight of the world upon me. I wonder if there could possibly be anything or anyone truly good (a little dramatic, I know). I am saddened by the anger and depression that those around me feel. I’m saddened by the poor choices people choose to continue to make. And finally I’m saddened by the people I care about. Here’s the thing: people are going to disappoint you; they are. They aren't perfect and you shouldn't expect them to be. Don’t put your hope in people, they’ll let you down. You can’t allow your happiness to be based upon others. And when I’m disappointed and heart broken I go to the only person who has never disappointed me, the one person who truly is good, God. I’ve been hurt many times but the only person who has never hurt me is God. I can always count on Him. And so in the midst of my chaos, I look to him. I may not be able to given you a solution to your problem or a cure for your diagnosis, but I can point you to the one who can. I don’t have all the answers and I don't pretend too. Life is hard and we don’t have to do this alone. In Christ there is purpose and meaning and life. Why wouldn't you want that? So my challenge for you today is to put your happiness and hope in Jesus Christ. You’ll never be disappointed. You can count on Him.
