Disappointment is inevitable, Misery is optional

We all have disappointments in life.  We get disappointed with ourselves, disappointed with other people, disappointed in what life is throwing at us.  But, we can overcome these feelings of disappointment.  But, only if we let Christ into our daily lives, leaning on His guiding and trusting His plans for our life.
 
While we can't all avoid disappointment, we can effectively deal with it.  Jesus even tells us in John 16:33 that 'in this world you will have trouble.'  So, even though we find it hard to deal with disappointments, we are told in the Bible to trust God in His promises to us.  The hardest part is trusting Him when His plans don't make sense to us.

The alternative is to be miserable and to give into worry and depression. 

When we can recognize God's goodness, even in our disappointment, we begin to really know God.

It all comes down to a choice.  Trust God or worry and be in misery.

Disappointment will come.  Don't let misery take over.

Psalm 34:18 - "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
