Getting Thru Life's Disappointments
William Wyne
Luke 24: 21. 27 and 34
Disappointments may be a part of God's way of saying, I have got something better for you. If we are careful in reflections, sometimes the disappointment themselves leads to an opportunity that had the disappointment not happened, you and I would have settled for less than what God and life had for us.
Be patient, live life, have faith.
Life is like the art of photography, we develop from our negatives. Life's disappointments may have a developing component to it, if we allow the trials to have its perfect work. Some of the most poignant and priceless pictures comes as you know from negatives.
The negatives of life do not have to make you the negative you experience, they can ultimately become the process that produces the picture that God desires.
The only way to avoid having any disappointments is to live without having expectations. When you have expectations, you open yourself up to experience disappointments. When you have expectations of and from others, and of yourself, you open the door to experience some aspects of disappointments. When you open the door to friendships and relationships, you are also opening the door for disappointments. So, the question may be how do you get thru disappointments as a believer? How do you not allow the disappointments in life to cause you to give up on life, give up on faith, and even give up your hopes.
Is there anything in this story that we can learn from this situation in Luke 24. There is without a doubt that these two disciples are disappointed and discouraged.
