About this episode

The episode discusses how to handle disappointment and expectations in relationships with grace.

Disappointment is something all of us experience. Sometimes it comes because we’ve been genuinely hurt. Sometimes it comes because someone has failed us. And sometimes it comes from expectations we didn’t even realize we were carrying. How do we respond when someone doesn’t react the way we hoped? What do we do when disappointment begins to take root in our hearts? One reminder that has helped me over the years is this: We see a moment. God sees the whole picture.
