DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE HIS APPOINTMENTS

Disappointments happen to us all sometimes.
It can sadden us.
It can hurt us.
But it can also challenge us.

Yes, it can challenge us to look at it in a different perspective, and instead discouraging us, we can make it work for us. How?

Simply by changing the letter "D" in the word "disappointment" and replace it with "H."

Hence, D--isappointments become H-isappointments.

Make it an Appointment of Praise.
Complain cannot change things. The truth is, it just aggravates the situation.
This is one of the hardest thing to do, but this is how turning points of blessings happen. It is when we praise God through any disappointment that happened to us.
You can praise the Lord for not allowing things to happen as you expect it to be, because it means God has a better plan for you far better than what you expected to be. Someday, you will thank God's "No's" because they will point to His "Yes." So, why wait for someday when you can praise Him today? Praise Him. When things didn't work out as you expect it to be, for sure God is working something out far better than what you expected.

Make it An Appointment with Preparation
When things didn't go as you expect it to be, it could be that you may not be ready yet. This could be His ways of preparing you more, or it could be that He knows that this certain "break" could literally break you- break your family, break your heart and break your faithfulness. So, when disappointment comes, take it a challenge to prepare more. Think of this - God is more concerned of what you will be than what you will have in life.

Make it An Appointment with Your Purpose

Sometimes, a certain thing is not allowed by God to be given to us in order to re-align us to our true purpose in life. Sometimes, we commit this mistake of competing with other people that we thought our lives should also be like their lives. But each one of us has different calling, different potentials and different purpose. Maybe God allowed disappointment in order to point you of who you really should be, because God knows you will never be happy in life unless you live according to your purpose.

Make it An Appointment with Prosperity
Simply because one closed door means another door is opened for you. Why spent your strength trying to open a closed door when a bigger door is opened wide for you? Isn't this a wonderful truth? You will be more thankful of His "No" in the future because on how this lead you to prosper.

We all know the trials of Job, but we also knew how he was so blessed at the end. He testified -

He performs the thing that is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him. - Job 23:14

I declare this in my life - "Yes, Lord, you are the One who performs the thing that is appointed for me, and my, many such things are with You when you do it."

So, if you are undergoing disappointment, just change the letter "D" to "H" and you will discover that everything are His appointments. You don't have to fret. Everything will be okay.
The truth is, nothing can disappoint us to defeat. Everything just points to His better plan for us.
