I am so glad that God's disappointment in me is not greater than his love and I still have a Destiny. I am growing in grace and mercy because that is the only soil that can produce the kind of life that God desires.

About This Quote

In the midst of great disappointment, God can be found waiting patiently for me to come to him. His disappointment is not greater than his love for us because he loves us so much. He wants us to come to him and become a part of his family. Rather than being disappointed in us, he is delighted because we have a chance to become what he wants us to be.
