Disappointment makes the heart sick as Proverbs says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick". Our hearts are sick but yearning to recover. I just got disappointing news about something we were excited about today. It is not hopeless and our God is BIGGER but we are disappointed. We are trusting, but we are disappointed. We really thought something that was impossible was possible and see it is not at this time, and we must endure an incredible hardship, for longer than we wanted, again. I am so glad that my life is not my own, and though my heart is crushed right now, I have this underlining trust that it is for the good, even though i cannot see the good, or even imagine any good.
This is my authentism. My anti-stuffing, and my dealing with things, right away, and not holding on, coming out. Truly, JESUS is GREATER than i, and i rejoice in that alone. Alone. Nothing else.
i'm sorry to hear Kristine! still praying for you. praying that your heart's desire would be the Father's will!
ReplyDeletedon't lose hope! Romans 5:5 "hope does not put us to shame (or disappoint) because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
press on my friend!!
I would like to invite that if anyone has a problem with the integrity of this entry on the usage of 'incredible hardship' above to please come to me and talk about it and I will gladly explain what I meant (no need for punching-not referring to a family member). This statement, in no way, reflects ingratitude toward our beloved and treasured family who has been more than gracious and to whom we are thankful for their love and seek to show it daily!
