FROM DISAPPOINTMENT TO BLESSING

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

We all have disappointments in life and over the past year, although I’ve been very unwell, I’ve tried to get away to see family and friends. We arranged four times to go but each time I was so disappointed as I just wasn’t strong enough and had to cancel every time. But praise God I’m a lot better now and finally went to see them all this past week and returned yesterday.

The reason I’m telling you all that is to say that if we had managed to go when we wanted to, the weather would have been colder and wetter, I wouldn’t have had the energy and we wouldn’t have enjoyed it half as much as this past sunny week which we’ve had down in Devon and Somerset! 😊

I want to encourage anyone who is suffering from big or small disappointments over things that have happened, or you’re feeling very discouraged because things are not working out the way you wanted them to, or they’re taking a long time.

You see God reminded me this past week that He has His plans for all of us, even our holidays, and His plans are always for our good. He showed it to me last week by giving us one of the happiest and nicest holidays we’ve had. His timing was perfect and was so worth waiting for and am very grateful to Him for it.😊

So whatever disappointment you may be experiencing or have had, keep trusting the One who loves you and holds your life in His hands, to work it all out for you in the best possible way, and I know you will be blessed. He really does work all things together for our good in the end. 

Psalm 40: 2-3 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
