Émotions Déchaînées (Unchained Emotions): Overcoming Disappointment

Good day everyone, sorry for the break. Today i would be writing on an issue every adult faces, which is DISAPPOINTMENT. Daily as we go through life's journey, we get let down  by friends, family members, colleagues, religious siblings/friends, neighbours and lovers.

To DISAPPOINT means to make someone unhappy by not being good as expected & DISAPPOINTMENT is the emotion felt when a strongly held expectation is not met.
It is easy to relate to disappointment because We have all faced this feeling in different areas of our lives. Nothing hurts more than putting your hope on someone and having it being shattered because of their intentional or unintentional act. Have you lost hope as a single person or lost hope on love.

We should never make an appointment on love with any person without checking in on God FIRST. Disappointment stretches our TRUST while building our character. God moulds us to the person He wants us to be through the disappointments we face.

It takes times to overcome a heartbreak and sometimes we even get mad at God which is normal. Then with time, we understand God's motive for such occurrence. With God's grace, you will overcome, He would sooth your pains and dry your tears. 

Be willing to let go of what is gone. Do not hold on to what left or what does not want to remain in your life. God would have brought it back if He wanted you to have it. Focus on the lessons you learned from this experience and surrender your HEART to God. Let him take hold of it till you find someone worth it.

Do not put your expectations on anyone, I repeat on no HUMAN. "Expect nothing from no one but expect everything from God." Place your expectations on God only. Humans would fail you because just like you, they have their shortcomings. 

Sometimes we withdraw into our shells or give up because we have been disappointed. We feel shutting down is the safest way to stay. Just like going through a broken engagement, you loose faith in love and withdraw into your own world.  This would not stop you from getting hurt again but rather having less expectations would prevent you from facing such fate again.

Ask God to get to the root issue of every disappointment you have faced,  let Him work on you and turn you to a MASTERPIECE. Trust him and soon, you too would be able to help others who are BROKEN. Dare to try again, so you will have a story to tell. 

Always accept that disappointments will come.

Believe everything has a reason and God has a plan for you. He wants the BEST for you because you are the apple of His eyes. Your job is to focus on the blessing/reason behind this disappointment. Find out how to turn this MESS into a MESSAGE. 

Find out what you did wrong. Do not put all your blame on the other person because as long as you keep doing that, you would get disappointed over and over again. What were your flaws?  Never run from the truth. Only you can tell yourself the truth.

You can only find your HOPE in God. We are a reflection of Him and God would always look good through us. He wants to see you happy, lively and grateful. He is a God of process and He is working on us. All we have to do is believe and never give up hope.

So today Beloveth, wipe your tears, take a shower, put on a nice outfit, look cute, eat whatever meal you want, take a drink of your choice to go with it, put on your Best behaviour and hit the streets. A nice stroll, a visit to the cinema or beach would help relax your nerves and make you feel better. If the devil try to steal your joy again, read this post and say a prayer to Your maker. 

I love you all and i pray we all overcome every pain of disappointment.
