How to Overcome Spiritual Disappointment

One common denominator amongst all of humanity is that we encounter disappointment in others. When we carry expectations and hold people in high regards, coming to terms with our shattered ideals could be difficult.

Christ above others helps us not only forgive others and ourselves in the face of our disappointment, but also helps to keep the purpose of ministry in perspective.
