Disappointment:
1 the root of bitterness
or
2 an opportunity for God to show His faithfulness.
These are my thoughts right now, as I am challenged these days not to let resentment set in, and bitterness grow. I am waiting in silence as I am afraid of what my words might be. Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life... (Prov 13: 12). Life is good; I am rich with joy; it's almost ridiculous. But there has been a slight and sudden turn in my path. Like a promise broken, a gift taken back. Tiny disappointment, but with such potential for growth that I dare not dwell in that place. This is a time for God to come through and provide an even better solution. It is a time to embrace Jesus Himself as the solution. I am waiting in silence. I am waiting, and my heart pleads without words. Only one Person knows what I need. I don't even know what to ask. So I am waiting.
