Whenever I find myself with a broken heart, it causes me to take inventory of a few things. 1. What were my real motives for my actions? 2. Had my expectations been voiced? 3. Were those expectations realistic? 4. Was I acting according to my true character and my God given purpose?
We all hate to deal with disappointment. It causes some of us to completely fall off the course and head into spirals of destructive behavior. Some of us lash out and try to take it out on others. No matter how we deal with disappointment, it is going to happen. Some disappointments inconvenience you.. still others cause your very foundations and beliefs to be questioned.
How do you deal with your disappointments? I am introspective in disappointments because I believe the pain I feel should teach me something. Not only about the character of the person who has disappointed me, but also about myself. It is also my sincere belief that disappointment is the fire of the kiln in the potter's house. The outside force that causes our impurities to come to surface, such as impure motives, poor communication, disillusionment and being off purpose. I believe some get a wide road to travel, but I have found that God does not deal with me in that way, that is not the nature of our relationship. HE is quick to show me just when I have traveled too off course, and many times disappointment is the sting that brings me back to the center of the road.
I challenge you to see your disappointments in a new light. Not as a punishment, but more as a divine appointment with the Supreme Life Coach to help you achieve your purpose. See the hurt as a chance to see where you need growth or healing. Let your disappointment teach you about you.
