“Disappointed but not destroyed.” I asked a friend the other day how they were doing, and that was her response. I thought it was so honest. And familiar.
“We are hard pressed on every side but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted but not abandoned; struck down but not destroyed.”
2 Corinthians 4: 8-9
At times, you’re going to feel disappointed or sad or hurt. We all do because we live in a broken world. But you can also still carry hope. Because you walk with Jesus. And He carries you.
The tension that you may feel is real. Life is hard. God is good. Both can be true. And you can carry both truths. The struggle and the hope.
If you’re feeling both today, you are not alone. May Jesus be your anchor through the storm and the source of your hope and strength today. – Sandi
