I was the child that required few spankings. Actually, I only recall having two. All my momma had to do was look at me, and I broke. I broke into about 1,000 pieces, and it was hard to put me back together. I aimed to please, and I hated to disappoint. The emotion of disappointment is one that is almost incomparable. I don't know if it's harder for the person experiencing it or the person that caused it. I have experienced much disappointment in my life. I've been disappointed in family, friends, grades, experiences, and myself. I've been let down and I've let down. And through it all, God still remains. I used to love to sing and play this song "Through the Fire", and my favorite line was "When I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna scream. I'm gonna shout. I'm gonna look into Your eyes and see You never let me down." I've experienced some heartaches in my life, and I've wondered why. I've watched loved ones and loved ones of loved ones be absolutely devastated. I've seen people look at God and ask why, and I don't know the answer. But I do know God has the answer. In all His greatness, sovereignty,and eternality, He has a grander plan. People will disappoint. God will open His arms and welcome us. God will be present. God will care. God will mend the broken heart. God will forgive. God will be patient. God will be glorified. We may never know the answers here on this earth. And I can only imagine what it will be like in Heaven. How exciting and healing to fall at the precious feet of Jesus. No tears, no heartache there.
