Let Down
I think I expect too much out of people. I expect them to meet my standards, and I set them high. It’s not something I do on purpose, but rather I was just raised that way. The thing is, it’s beginning to hurt me when I’m let down. I know it’s my fault and I bring it on myself, but I expect a lot from the people I love because I know they are capable of it. I just can’t handle being let down so much.
I need to start putting ALL my expectations in Christ. He is the only one who won’t let me down, who won’t disappoint, and will always deliver. I know this in my head, but I find myself continuing to look to other people to fufill me sometimes, and it just never works. In fact like I said before, I’m let down and end up feeling worse then when I started.
Forgive me Lord for looking to anyone but you. No family member, no friend, no boy, no job…nothing can take your place. You fulfill my every need without me even having to ask. Everything I have belongs to you, and most importantly, I belong to you. Please continue to do your work in me. Change my heart and help me to grow. I love you.
Psalm 62:5
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
