Hoping doesn’t mean we ignore reality. No, hoping means we acknowledge reality in the very same breath that we acknowledge God’s sovereignty.
And our hope isn’t tied to our expectations finally being met in our way & in our timing. It's tied to the unchanging promise of God.
What if disappointment is the exact appointment our souls need to radically encounter God?
If we weren’t ever disappointed, we’d probably settle for the shallow pleasures of this world rather than addressing the spiritual desperation of our souls. #ItsNotSupposedToBeThisWay
