       On the other hand, with God there is never cause for disappointment, that is, unless I am demanding he do things for me and pressuring him to do those things and then he doesn’t do them. We should not judge God for whatever happens in our lives. Peace, then, is possible no matter what the circumstances. This is because everything else, that is, everything outside of our God relationship, has been put into its proper place. We can have our possessions, but if we lose them, really that’s okay because we were going to lose them someday anyway. If we love our spouse, we love and enjoy that person while they are with us. We are happy and grateful to God for their presence in our lives. When they leave, we understand that it was possible for that to happen—that’s our current natural order of things. Same with the children. We want them to stay—but we must not want anything too much to the point where we would hurt our relationship with God out of discomfort over a loss.
