Every single person in our lives will disappoint us at some level. Some days they’ll be busy when we need them to be still; other days they’ll be self-centered when we need them to concentrate on us. Sometimes they’ll bruise us with hard words aimed right for the soft places in our soul. They won’t meet all our emotional needs. They can’t; they have too many needs of their own. They’re sinners just like us. Only our Creator can love us perfectly, the way He created us to be loved. His love is the only thing that can define us without destroying us.

Thanks for sharing, Steve. I really needed to be reminded of this today. Not feeling so hot and that tends to cause me to set unrealistic expectations on the hubs & kids. Thankful for your posts 🙂
Yes! thanks again, Steve! blessings
Dear Brother, This was just perfect for me today! A wonderful quote. I was feeling hurt due to minor thing with a good friend and this reminded me that we all are sinners and our love is imperfect. Thanks so much for posting all the great quotes you find and your own prayers which are perfect. Ellen
