“Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” (Romans 10:11)
Whenever we put our faith in someone, we are sticking our neck out. Whether it be vouching for a friend, relying on others for a group project, or becoming emotionally vulnerable by confiding in another – we put ourselves at risk of loss and disappointment whenever we believe in others.
The fear of rejection and past pain in being let down by others can lead us to shrink back from future relationships. We superimpose our past pain upon new connections and run the risk of walling ourselves up because we don’t wish to be disappointed again.
Remember, God will never disappoint you. He is faithful, and your confession and loyalty in Him will not go unrequited. He sees you sticking your neck out. He sees you making sacrifices, and He hears your vulnerable prayers. He will not forsake you.
Hold fast to the good confession. Your faith is not in vain.
