Let's be honest, people disappoint, which means that life disappoints. It's true. I literally can't stand drama, conflict, problems.. you pick the word, but my whole goal in life is to live in peace. The only glitch? I live with other people. I have a family and friends, so conflict and drama is present.
What I'm learning? God doesn't want me to crumble under the pressure of a tough day. When my heart breaks because someone has let me down, I need to take 2 seconds to think about the fact that Jesus wouldn't flip out. He'd still be standing with a heart full of love and arms wide open. I am learning how very far I am from that example and how I really, really, want to become more like Him, and less like myself.
I can do it, you can do it, we can do it! How do I know? Because Jesus is here helping us every step of the way... His love never stops, it never quits, it never, ever gives up. That's how I know. So, even in the middle of a storm of drama, He is there to calm the raging sea... and speak into my heart and give me peace. He wants to do the same for you, will you let him?
