People disappoint. They will always disappoint. It is human nature. It is the fall. Your parents, your friends, and yourself will let you down many times in life. We can certainly learn from people, but no one can fully trust another human being.
This leads me to Matthew 5:38-40. I've never fully appreciated Jesus' advice. What does "turning the other cheek" really mean? Do I allow myself be beaten?
But isn't Jesus telling us that we will be slapped by people? That the world will try to knock us down, but if we want to remain true to Him, we must keep our head held high, present the other cheek with a sense of dignity, and let the world be?
People disappoint. So trust in Him, and let it be.
