There are times when we're hurting...and people disappoint us

because they don't have the right words to say.

They can't even fathom the depth of our problem

or what we struggle with day-after-day.

But these times of disappointment only serve to remind us

that people are simply just what they are.

They are limited in wisdom because they are mortal

and their knowledge is only so far.

The reason for that is really so simple

because it's only God who truly knows all.

And God was meant to be our true source of comfort

and the one who we desperately call.

All those situations where others "don't get it"

are our chances to spiritually grow,

To seek out our solace and wisdom from the Father

for all the details He already knows.

And when we do that, we are not disillusioned

by people and whatever they deliver.

For we have been comforted by the gifts of His heart

as we've looked in the face of the Giver.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills-
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2 NKJV
