Life’s Disappointments Blossom into New Opportunities

Life's Disappointments Blossom into New Opportunities

Brenda Dillon

You’ve poured all that you have into someone, or into a dream, or a business…
…emotionally,
….in effort,
…maybe even financially.

Some of you have even gone into “emergency mode” & emptied every bit of that out of your heart & being too…trying to make it work. There’s truly nothing left– nothing left to feel, no tears left to cry, just numbness & a wondering of why life had to go this way.


It seemed like a good relationship, a valid dream, a brilliant business move….


Maybe you question what you did to deserve so much rejection, failure, financial loss. Why all the compassion, effort, resources you poured in got you…here.
…in a place of loneliness,
unfulfilled, unvalued.


I’m sorry you’re there….


Honestly, I don’t know if that’s just part of the journey to where God is taking you, or if it’s a result of the manipulations of the enemy to destroy your faith & life. Or…both.


But one thing I know– God cares. He really does. He wants you to sit, embraced in His love & presence until you can go on– soaking in His caring, His affirmation, His goodness.


He WILL give you the strength to move ahead. Spend time meditating on His Word, listening to His voice and letting Him remind you of who you are– sons & daughters of the king.


Amazingly, as I was writing this, a big, beautiful orange-breasted Robin walked up to the French doors, looked in, then strutted all the way across the window with the greatest confidence you’ve ever seen. Like she knew where she was, that she had a purpose in being there and was present to fulfill it.


I think God is telling you that it may feel like the harshest winter you’re walking through right now; but, rest assured, spring is coming! A more joyful season of life IS ahead….
