“Disappiontments are God’s appointment of love”. This could be easier to say than to believe, especially when you go through series of disappointments in your life. Wherever you try to push the doors open, they shut left and right.
The job you dreamt is no longer for you, and the promotion you feel deserved is given to your best friend. Finally, you come to a place tired and desgsaired, assuming, ‘no, there is something wrong.”

When God decides to work in our lives. He confines us in a small place until we accept our inability and let Him lead our lives. The earthly wisdom recommends striving hard with more efforts to achieve the targets, whereas the heavenly wisdom asks us to surrender our failures before God and wait for His counsel and then act. There are very good reasons when God says “no” to our heart’s desires

We have no idea what we are asking:

How many times we look back at the things we asked once and pray “thank God, you didn’t give me that How many times we missed to understand God’s “no” is as good as His “yes”. The reason is we can’t see things from God’s perspective. We see only one side of the six sides but God sees from above having clear picture of what we ask. When we act before asking His approval, it is disastrous. What we ask will not satisfy our lives, rather it will be a hindrance to our growth and our relationship with God.

God has something better in store:

In the midst of our defeats, it may be hard to believe these words. But this is true. To be precise He has His best for our lives. God is not going to send you through disappointments and setbacks unless He still has a better place. Only God’s best can satisfy our lives with contentment, fullness, peace and joy. Even though we have no idea if it comes next day or next year, it is still worth the wait. He asks us to have faith in Him and wait upon Him even if it means taking a path of persecution and suffering

We may perceive God’s “not yet” as “no”:

God’s blessings are all about right timing at right place with right persons. If any one of them is not ready. He simply waits. He orches-trates events as per His schedule and shapes people involved according to His will. When we refuse to wait, we upset God’s work and miss the very blessings we asked for. When we don’t know between “not yet and ‘no”, it is good to look if He opens another door or opens the very door we ask Him to open and use discernment to enter it.
