Disappointment


Today's promise:
They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you and were never disgraced - Psalms 22:5

The truth is that life is full of disappointment for us.
On the other hand, we often disappoint God because of our sin. 
But God doesn't want us to dwell on what could have been.
He is the God of hope and wants us to focus on what can be.
That's why he sent his Son, Jesus, to take the punishment for your disappointing behaviour so that you can stand before him as more than good enough. You are actually holy in his eyes. 
The next time you feel disappointed, remember everything God has done for you. 
Use this time to grow, and take comfort that you have the approval of the only one who really matters.

Time to move past your disappointment
