The #1 Way to Overcome Disappointment in Relationships (It May Not Be What You Think)

The topic of today's episode is very personal because I've been learning lately through my relationship with God about letting go of offenses. It's about not letting myself think poorly of someone just because of how they react to my pain. It's tough, but our expectations of others often set us up for disappointment. Sure, it's healthy to have expectations in relationships, but when I start needing others to fulfill my needs before turning to Jesus, things get tricky. Often, when we have expectations, we want others to fill a void or a need. But some days, I don’t even know what I need or feel, so how can I expect someone else to meet a need I haven't identified yet? In relationships, it's natural to expect to be seen, heard and loved. However, relationships can be messy because they involve two imperfect people with different experiences and beliefs. Remember, their response to your decision is not yours to carry. What matters is how you respond.
