Learning To Embrace Life's Disappointments
ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED THAT LIFE ISN’T TURNING OUT LIKE YOU PLANNED? HOW DO YOU RESPOND when your husband or wife tramples your emotions? When your boss fires
you unexpectedly? When you lose your life’s savings? When the child
you’ve loved and prayed for turns his back on you and your values? When
disappointments like these smash their way into your life, you may want
to scream, "How could God let this happen?”
BUT WHAT IF GOD didn’t just "let it happen”? What if the things you call
disappointments are really His appointments — events He is using to make
you more like Christ? What if He is using your disappointments like
flames to melt and burn away the undesirable elements in your life,
leaving you pure and radiant — like refined silver?
YOU CAN BE DEFEATED by life’s unavoidable disappointments, or you can become stronger
because of them. Kay Arthur paints a graphic picture of the dangerous
downward spiral of disappointment that can lead to discouragement,
depression, or even despair. But you can learn to break that cycle and
embrace disappointment with a faith that recognizes the trials of life
as tools that God uses to make you — as silver refined — a reflection of
His goodness.
