Disappointment

[Blessed-one]

last night i was taught a lesson by God. I was sleeping, but woke up from a dream, so i went to the toilet (logically) and went back to bed. It was 3am, as i tried to sleep again, a car's rumble could be heard right outside the house. I hoped against hope that it wasn't my brother, because if so, then he has broken his promise to come back home before 12am.

well.... it turned out that it was him, and i was severely disappointed, and i felt.... sort of angry for what he did, even though the promise wasn't made with me! (my parents), i suddenly understand what God must've felt when we keep failing Him again and again.

May we always keep His words in our heart!

Very good Blessed-one! And the precious thing is that no matter how many times we fail, Jesus is always there to forgive us and restore us to fellowship as though we had never failed.

I just love the way God teaches us things like this. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I feel it's so important we share all our experiences such as this, It helps us grow together in Christ. And the family of Christ should always be growing closer together.

yep Gerry, it's the fact that He always forgive that we should work extra hard not to disappoint Him!

i totally agree GraftMeIn, sharing experiences with God are very important in spiritual growth, it not only helps oneself, but others too.

Yes, it is terribly important that we all share our varying experiences. Each one can teach us a lesson.
