How do you handle disappointment? For me I don’t like the feelings that come with life not going the way I want it to go. I must confess that I like being a winner and hence losing causes me to do some serious examination of my life. I suppose that is the good about disappointments. But I still struggle with life handing me some lemons.
I wonder how others face their failures. I even wonder if others think about them as much as I do. I suppose I am too egotistical in this regard. The fear of failing has stopped me from even attempting some things. But there are those times I have put it on the line and tasted both victory and defeat. But I want (I hope it is not a need) to win more than I lose.
And how does all of this fit in with my being a disciple of Jesus? What did He teach of this subject? What did He think of disappointments? As you can see I have more questions than answers. Today I just wonder about disappointments that come to us all.
