When People Disappoint You!

It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever had friends you thought would always be there for you, but at the first sight of tragedy they vacated the premises?  One day they’re right beside you, but the very next day they’re no where to be found.  One day you’re sitting around planning your futures, but the next day their plans exclude you.  Have you ever shared your personal life stories with a family member or friend only to later hear your business all over the church, the job, the neighborhood and/or the beauty shop (barber shop)?  You specifically asked that no one tell this information to anyone else.  Now you are in a position where everyone knows your inner feelings.  Have you ever been there?  Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, what do you do When People Disappoint You?  How do you handle the times when the people you trusted the most turn their back on you?  How do you recover from bruises and scars left by people you would give your life to defend?  The Bible declares in Psalms 118:8 - It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.  There are times in our lives when family members and friends, we love and adore so much, will break our hearts.  Whether intentional or not, there are times when you find yourself “all by yourself!”  Not because you chose to make it this way, but because of the disappointments you experienced while dealing with people.  You must understand man makes a lot of promises, which sound good, but the fulfillment of them are never kept.  Be careful not to place your trust in people who have the same potential to fall as you do.
My brother, my sister, what do you do When People Disappoint You?  How do you handle knowing your closest friend has been spreading nasty rumors about you?  How do you handle being rejected by people you try so hard to help?  How do you handle these matters?  The Bible declares in Proverbs 18:24 - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.  Beloved, there will never be a friend as faithful, loyal and loving as the Lord Jesus Christ.  While many people may argue this point, I know it to be true.  Jesus is the only friend you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to and know one ever finds out about them.  He is the only one able to handle whatever mood you are in, matter you are facing and mountain you need moved.  Prayer for Today: Father, help me to know You are a friend that will never disappoint me.  In the name of Jesus … Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: John 15:15-16
May God Bless you at Your point of need!
AMEN.

When Life Disappoints You.

Have you ever found yourself in a position where everything you planned fell apart?  You had everything in order and organized accordingly, but one bad report or one bad phone call threw everything out of place.  Unforeseen and unexpected, but it happened.  Have you ever planned for the future but something so tragic occurred that threatened your previous plans?  What you prepared for and what actually happened were two different scenarios.  Have you ever shared beautiful wedding vows with the person of your dreams only to later find yourself at the point of divorce because the vows have not been upheld?  The words sounded so good to your ears but the actions and promises never followed.  Have you ever wondered if things would get better? This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, what do you do  When Life Disappoints You?   How do you handle the hurdles and obstacles, which come with life...

There Is Life After This Matter!

x It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God.  Have you ever suffered tragedy within your family?  Maybe someone close to you passed away or a close friend betrayed your trust.  Have you ever had life hit you with something unexpected?  Out of no where, things began to go from bad to worse.  The plans you made were put on hold because an unforeseen circumstance required immediate intervention.  Have you ever watched someone you love fight for their life?  With your own eyes, you watched as this person fought for every breath they took.  You watched as this person, whom you loved, suffered and there was nothing you could do about it.  Have you ever been mad at yourself because you wanted to do more but there was nothing else to be done?  You did all you could possibly think of but things still did not change. O ften times life catches us off guard with situations we were not prepared for.  While things appear under contro...

THE HIGH COST OF FREE PORN

Terry Crews is a successful man: former NFL player, television star, person of seemingly impossible muscle density. But Crews is unusual for another reason: in a sexualized culture, he spoke up not long ago about the harm caused by his pornography addiction. “Every time I watched it, I was walled off,” Crews confessed in a video posted online. “It was like another brick that came between me and my wife.” Crews’s testimony caused a strong reaction on social media. Many noted the destructive personal effects of pornography, effects that cannot be denied. But there is a greater dimension to pornography’s destructiveness. Even free porn comes at an excruciatingly high cost. Beyond severe psychological and social consequences, pornography hinders Jesus’s mission in the world. Here are three ways this takes place, with a word of hope for sinners like us. 1. Pornography hinders the mission of God in our own lives. God has much work he wants to do through his people. He does not emplo...
