When you have put all your faith in man and continue to be disappointed, don't you hope there is something out of there that is not of human element?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are setting ourselves up for disappointment if our hope is built on anything less than Jesus.
This is a day of little faith - of few convictions - a day when men seem to have no great causes and no great passions. So in frustration, in disappointment, they are inclined to say, 'You can't change human nature.' It is true that we cannot change human nature. But God can.
There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true Self.
Hope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.
I've always been a religious person, and I try to think that every disappointment might just be a blessing in disguise.
The substance of faith is a hope in the unseen.
Do not be surprised if I adore as God what you called humanity, since you talked of humanity as if it was empty of spirit and you think in the flesh according to the flesh.
Blessed is he that expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
I've always thought, and it gets tested at times, that I have a great faith in the fundamental goodness of human beings.
Even if my fellow man has proven faithless time after time, I can at least retain a hope that he will improve, pray for him, and think kindly without frustration and disappointment.
