BEING LET DOWN

BEING LET DOWN

By Teboho Masakala

We live in a world full of pretenders and people who promises heaven and earth to others, some promise to be there for you till eternity but some change their tune either too early, late or when the going gets tough.

Never worry when you are let down, that’s a learning curve to see life in another way, to see if you have true friends or family. Too see who you can trust and to open your eyes to not trust easily. You may have expected your boyfriend to marry you after making a baby for him. Or your girlfriend might have promised to never leave you but soon changed when things became hard for you, don’t worry because being let down is part of life but it’s how you see it and learn from it that will get you to  stand up and move forward.

Some people may let you down intentionally or unintentionally, but still find ways to learn something from the whole experience. Sometimes you are let down because of the faith you have in people close to you or those you love. Too much expectations  can let you down. Expecting too much on its own can be harmful so never expect more than you aiming for nor expect the unexpected because you can be let down.

Various reasons exists for being let down but fix your eyes on God who will never let you down. If you have God in you, you cease to worry nor expecting unnecessarily  and can’t  shed a tear because of being let down.

Jesus was deserted by Peter and the disciples but he didn’t worry nor complain when he returned to them after his resurrection, instead Peter saw what he did by denying Lord Jesus was wrong and wept when he remembered his verbatim about denying him.

Sometimes you need to be let down so that those who wronged you can see how wrong they are to let you down. Depending on how you look at it, an opportunity can rise from being let down, a wrong can be corrected and you can be more stronger and confident than ever. Fix your eyes on Jesus who will never let you down.
