Going Through Disappointment With Family?
There are many levels of disappointments. If you order food and something is wrong with it, you can be disappointed. If you set a goal to lose a few pounds and find it difficult to stay on your diet and lose the weight, you may be disappointed in yourself right? Then there are major, painful disappointments that do happen between trusted family or friends and yourself by their actions. Sometimes, there is so much pain in it and you are not sure if your relationship will ever be the same again.
That is what I want to write about today. The painful stuff doesn’t happen very often and it doesn’t always last forever but it can be so catastrophic that you aren’t sure how to deal with it. Maybe you did something they didn’t agree with or like and they reacted wrong, or vice versa. Done by someone you love, like your adult kids.
Whoever is a fault, we know that God wants us to always be forgiving. Forgiving is the easy part for me. I am not a judgmental type person. I’ve always been that person who tries to understand other’s actions before I would get upset, but always have a forgiving heart for them. Not easy. I just know that is the heart of God. His love is so deep for us, merciful and forgiving. He wants us to be the same so I try my best to do as God wants because I need forgiveness from God every single day!
