Jenelle’s Reviews > Unmet Expectations: Reshaping Our Thinking in Disappointments, Trials, and Delays > Status Update

“We will experience consequences as a result of our sin, but repentance restores our communion with [God]…when we sin, we turn our backs on Him…each time we sin, we turn away from the Lord. But, when we confess and repent of our sins, we turn away from sin and face the Lord again in faith, hope, and trust…all the more reason to turn from our sin quickly, so less time is spent with our backs toward Jesus.”

“We need trials and sorrows to wean our hearts off this world and to remind us that we are temporary residents here. We need difficulties to drive us to the Lord. We need weakness and frailty to teach us to lean on the never-failing, always faithful God…we need unmet expectations to produce a harvest of righteousness in us (Heb. 12:11).”
