One of the great benefits I received from playing basketball was the opportunity to learn to deal with disappointment. You work all season long, full of hope that the work you put in will pay off and allow you to play for the championship at the end of the year.
But guess what happens? The year doesn’t turnout like you expected. Maybe injuries or the team just didn’t gel like you thought it would. Instead of playing for the championship you have a long frustrating season.
Disappointment is written all over your face. Frustrated, because of all the hard work and long hours you gave to become the very best that you could.
Disappointment can cause us to lose confidence in God's ability to care for us, making us afraid to try again. Why do it again, I’m going to fail.
A good friend of mine always says that the disappointment that we experience today prepares us for greater opportunities later in life. God gives us those difficult times to prepare us for future success.
