Disappointment

Tuesday, December 18, 2018 • Michael Thompson

This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. - 1 John 4:9

 

We will inevitably suffer with disappointment in ourselves. We will feel that we have not performed as expected. We did not get an "A" on our tests, we fell short of our goals, we lost our tempers, and now we are disappointed with ourselves, and we are sure that God is disappointed too. The truth that we can be grateful for is that God already knew that we wouldn't perform as expected when He chose to love us. And it is His love that is the basis for our relationship with Him, not our works. When our relationship with God is a solid foundation in our lives, we will be free to do the best we can, and not get stressed out about our imperfections. It's time to get off the treadmill and run in the freedom of His grace.

 

Prayer Starter: I thank You, Father, that You are not disappointed with me. You knew what You were getting when You chose me. Thank You for choosing me anyway and for loving me perfectly in the midst of my imperfections. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

 

Scriptures: 1 John 4:9

disappointment and love

That is beautiful Brother. God truly loves us for who we are. Thank you for reminding me of that.
May we find God's love in ourselves, each other and the whole world.
Love Always
