Disabling Your Disappointments Disappointment to the Christ followers soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it. Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18 Every person, no matter how much faith they have or how good a person they are will face disappointments. It may be something simple like not getting that promotion you really hoped for, or not closing that big deal you worked so hard on. Maybe you didnt qualify for a house you really wanted. Or, it may be something more serious like a relationship not working out, the death of a loved one, or some kind of illness in your body. Whatever it may be, the reality is that were all going to suffer some setbacks. But I believe one of the main keys to overcoming disappointments is learning to let go of the past. The past weighs you down and holds you back. If you feel stuck today, you may want to examine what youre holding on to. Be willing let go of the past by choosing forgiveness. Who hurt you? Who wronged you? Release it to God. Do you need to forgive yourself? Do you need to receive Gods forgiveness? Make the choice today to let go of the past so that you can experience the bright future God has in store for you! Heavenly Father, search my heart and mind today. Show me any area where I may be holding on to the past. Help me to receive Your forgiveness so that I can extend forgiveness to others and move forward in the wonderful plan You have for me. I am going to forget about whats happened; I wont keep going over old history. I will be alert, present, READY for that brand-new something You are going to do.... In Jesus Name. Amen.
