“Life is full of disappointments. Friends don’t act like friends. Family doesn’t act like family. Christians don’t act like me.
If you are not careful, each disappointment can send your soul to a place without praise, a place where prayers die. When your heart feels as heavy as lead, know that what weighs you down are really unshed tears and the weight of hopelessness that no child of mine was meant to carry. Grieve, yes, but not without hope. These days are temporary and one day, fellowship will be perfect when, in the kingdom, all my children will be glorified. While you wait, there is only one place to go where you can stand fast without a trace of bitterness. Come home to me.
You will recover and you will be stronger than before because I offer you the endless resources of my heart. For every deficit, for every disappointment, you may expect an abundance ten-fold in the kingdom.”
