How do you deal with disappointment? When people let you down, when your dreams fall apart, when you feel as though your hopes have faded, what do you do then? It hurts when those things happen, and you’ll never forget them. But you can overcome the disappointment. At least that’s what I’ve been told. It has been said, “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” That same rational could be used for disappointment as well. It’s better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. I know that God expects us to try. The only person He can’t use is one who does nothing. And I’ve also discovered that many times what I consider a disappointment is a victory for God. The Apostle Paul said that “God works all things together for the good of those who love Him...” Guess “all things” includes my disappointments and failures, huh? Sort of puts a new light on things, doesn’t it? So the next time you find yourself hurting from the sting of disappointment, instead of asking “Why God?” Ask, “How are you working this out for my good?” Then look for the answer by continuing on in hope and making an effort to make things happen again.
