A world of disappointment

This world carries too much disappointment and not nearly enough joy. This is evident in our everyday existence, making us into people who is afraid to trust, who prefer to rely on ourselves. How disappointingly true, but how wrong, this is.

Too many a time I've relied on someone or trusted a friend, only to turn my back and find disappointment around the next corner. Why does this happen? Does this mean that you can never trust somebody else?

It's not just disappointment, it's also being let down. Having high and wonderful expectations, but never experience it, because you were let down, someone's promises were not kept or they conveniently decided to forget them.

The only question that keeps coming into my mind is: Why?

Maybe it's because one person will never truly understand another. This is not a valid excuse, but may be a reason.

The only hope and comfort is that God will never let you down: "... never leave ... nor forsake ... " This is something to be treasured and held close, espercially when you're experiencing disappointment and sadness.
