On the path to enlightenment and heavenly glory, letting go of disappointments is a necessary step. In this article, Pope Francis will guide us to move forward on this path and find renewal.
We have all experienced various kinds of disappointments throughout our lives. That disappointment we feel when we do not achieve something or when something we deeply long for is not fulfilled.
When these feelings become present, negative feelings such as sadness and uncertainty arise, which in turn can lead to even worse situations such as depression and apathy towards all things.
Learning to live with the balance between good and bad moments is the key to everything.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
It is in those moments that God helps us every step of the way. When we face challenging situations, we run the most pernicious risk that can come our way: loss of faith.
Disappointments can take different forms. These situations generate a learning process in our inner being. It is true that at the beginning we do not manage to glimpse it, but with time and the glory of the Heavenly Father, we will understand it perfectly.
At times, we question ourselves if we have been responsible and doubts take hold of our spirit.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15
In the face of these episodes, we must act with determination, creating a positive environment that seeks the idea of opportunity and reconstruction. Let us learn from the children, who are the maximum expression of innocence and goodness that the Lord gives us. They are always moving forward in pursuit of their life dreams.
To face these challenges successfully, we must face them with humility and balance, in communion with God.
These are propitious moments in which we are called to deepen our hope and love in Christ. For this, the ideal is to seek a personal space, created daily, to open our hearts before the Lord and receive His mercy.
When we are able to connect with faith in prayer, it is not to use it as an escape route, but to become fully aware that we are in a constant search for our spiritual evolution with the Heavenly Father.
Let us remember that the hand of the Lord will always be there comforting His people. What better refuge? What better place to recover our hope?
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Let us surrender our faithfulness to Christ and allow Him to take control of the situation. Our life will be full of challenges and uncertainties, but that should not stop our journey or our beliefs.
Let us secure a special place at the Holy Spirit's side to talk with the Lord each day. Let us seek in His word the peace so necessary to reencounter His infinite love. Let us seek to balance our spirit and fill ourselves with calm and wisdom to face with determination the situations that come our way. By fulfilling the wonderful purpose that God the Father has prepared for our lives, we will understand with respect and love everything that comes our way, in order to evolve as brothers and sisters.
By following these steps, we will overcome disappointments and find the path to light and divine glory.
