Perhaps your life is like a total eclipse of the sun right now. I've run into a lot of people who are having really difficult times. It is a time where much is unknown.
 
Discouragement and disappointment can come from everywhere - misunderstandings, family problems, other people, financial problems, business, health, relationships…or everything at once.
 
Disappointment and discouragement will also often be experienced because of other people - a parent, family member, or someone you feel close to who doesn't keep the promises they made or implied. It may be something that should NOT have happened.
 
Mainly, disappointment and discouragement is caused by unmet expectations.
 
You've probably heard the old story about the devil having a "going out of business" sale. There was a huge room and everything had a price tag on it. But, there was a tiny little box with the most expensive price tag.
 
"What?" I asked surprised.
 
"It's filled with DISCOURAGEMENT. That's the only thing he needs to do his job."
 
The Unexpected
 
Well, for sure life has this way of throwing the unexpected at us. - things that catch us off guard. The worst can be from people who make choices that change our life plans. If it hasn't happened this week, then be assured it will happen. Disappointment is part of life. It really is.
 
I'm convinced the final conflict, the final Armageddon is in our mind. The place of the greatest warfare must be won inside of ourselves. This is not a fight against the devil, it is a fight in our minds to believe again. To keep moving forward.
 
II Timothy 1:12 says, "No one who believes (adheres to, relies on, trusts in) Jesus will ever be disappointed" (AMP). He will never disappoint. This does not mean that you will never have any disappointments, but rather that DISAPPOINTMENTS bring HIS APPOINTMENTS.
 
Dis-couragement causes us to lose our courage.
 
He Will Never….
 
The operative word here for me is, "Never." He will never disappoint. So, that means that whatever the event is/was, it's not from Him.
 
God is not "allowing this difficulty" to teach you or me a lesson through disappointment.  He doesn't have to teach His beloved Sons that way. In Him there is light and variance or shadow of turning.
 
But, we can learn from it!
 
The journey may be continuous.
 
When disappointment happens, you have some choices to make. The following are NOT the best choices!
  • Dwell on the disappointment, and become sad, disillusioned, depressed, cynical, and hopeless.
  • Lie about it and pretend that nothing has happened. Refuse to talk about it.
  • Deny your responsibility and keep hoping that something will change or work out.
  • Avoid taking risks of letting it happen again.
Disappointment is the emotion of sadness caused when your expectations are not realized. Perhaps you feel let down because of the belief that now you're going to miss out on something forever.
 
Moving Forward
 
Life has twists and turns. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. People will fail you. Often, that is not intentional. Their own system of needs may require them to make choices that affect you negatively. Systems will change.
 
Some seasons of life are more difficult than others. Overwhelming and unexplainable dynamics may surround everyone. Resistance to your dreams may try to overtake. But, know this for sure:
 
How can you move forward today?
 
Right now, determine to allow your heart to dare to explore, dream, and discover hope again.
 
It is absolutely imperative that the Lord "open the eyes" (of your understanding) so that you can "see" who He really is. And with authority, I decree this prayer for you today. "And your eyes are opened, and you SEE and recognize Him" (Luke 24:31). You HEAR His voice. You KNOW the next steps to take.
 
Romans 5:5 And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
 
Hebrews 13:5 I will NEVER leave you or forsake you.
 
Be empowered to face the impossible. Let your confession be watered by the streams of His high places. Let each trial become another stepping-stone. Run INTO the Lord. Surrender your self-will. Let this impossible place of today become the memory of accomplishment and overcoming! God loves you. He created you for His pleasure.
 
My friend, this is not the end. It is just the beginning. Be encouraged!

You have the mind of Christ... what does that mean? If we open up to possessing the womb of His mind, then His thoughts can produce a baby. Let the man-child emerge. This mind is: beyond intelligence, beyond learning, beyond understanding. Here are some ideas on what that means:
There seems to be a lot more detachment these days. Too many sad stories°to much stress. Perhaps what we need now more than ever is to be more understanding, compassionate, and kind? There is an old saying called, "give yourself some slack." The idea of Giving Yourself Some Slack means that you start with yourself! The phrase is a sailing term from late 1700s that originally meant to loosen or give slack on a sail or rope. SLACK means to ease pressure upon situations and stop forcing a desired result.
Many actually see nothing wrong with how things have been going on. This confuses me. The Church is divided in many ways. It is fractured by personal opinions. With few exceptions, leaders know the church is declining, but they don't want to change their old mindset to find greater truth that would stop the decline. One major problem is the lack of believing Present Truth, the lack of teaching Truth, and the lack of searching for Truth. The question is, would you change your belief system in exchange for Greater Truth? Jesus became weary. He had been looking for her. He walked all the way to Samaria – because of TRUTH.
