C’est le r\u00e9sultat d’une promesse non tenue, d’un amour trahi, d’un r\u00eave bris\u00e9, d’un comportement inattendu venant de quelqu’un en qui on croyait. La d\u00e9ception na\u00eet souvent l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il y avait confiance, espoir ou attachement.

\nBut disappointment is part of the human condition. No human being, no matter how good, can perfectly fill our hearts. Why can't they? Because the human heart is limited, fallible, influenced by sin.
\n________________________________________\nWhy are we disappointed in each other?<\/strong><\/h4>\nParce que nous attendons trop des gens. Nous esp\u00e9rons que l’autre sera parfait, fid\u00e8le, honn\u00eate, constant. Et pourtant, la Bible nous avertit :
\n\" Maudit soit l’homme qui se confie dans l’homme, qui prend la chair pour son appui, et qui d\u00e9tourne son c\u0153ur de l’\u00c9ternel !<\/strong> \"
\n– J\u00e9r\u00e9mie 17 :5<\/strong>
\nLes gens changent, faiblissent, trahissent parfois… m\u00eame involontairement. C’est pourquoi placer notre confiance premi\u00e8rement en Dieu est la seule garantie contre une d\u00e9ception destructrice.

\nWhat the Bible says about disappointment<\/strong>
\nD\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 l’\u00e9poque biblique, les hommes d\u00e9cevaient. Paul l’a annonc\u00e9 :
\n\" Dans les derniers jours, il y aura des temps difficiles. Les hommes seront \u00e9go\u00efstes, ingrats, d\u00e9loyaux, insensibles… tra\u00eetres…<\/strong> \"
\n– 2 Timoth\u00e9e 3 :1-5<\/strong>
\nCe portrait d\u00e9crit notre \u00e9poque. L’amour se refroidit. Les relations sont superficielles. Beaucoup portent un masque de pi\u00e9t\u00e9, mais leurs intentions sont contraires \u00e0 Dieu (v. 5).
\n________________________________________\nA moving biblical story: Jesus and Judas<\/strong><\/h4>\nPersonne n’a connu la d\u00e9ception plus intens\u00e9ment que J\u00e9sus. Il a aim\u00e9 Judas, l’a nourri, enseign\u00e9, envoy\u00e9… mais Judas l’a trahi.
\n\" Judas, c’est par un baiser que tu livres le Fils de l’homme ?<\/strong> \"
\n– Luc 22 :48<\/strong>
\nJ\u00e9sus n’a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris. Il savait que cela arriverait, mais Il a continu\u00e9 d’aimer. Il a choisi de pardonner, d’accomplir sa mission, de faire confiance au P\u00e8re.
\n________________________________________
\nTo you who have been wounded: God sees you<\/strong>
\nTu as aim\u00e9, donn\u00e9, servi… et on t’a bless\u00e9(e). Peut-\u00eatre m\u00eame trahi(e) dans ton couple, abandonn\u00e9(e) par des amis, ou ignor\u00e9(e) dans l’\u00e9glise. Dieu conna\u00eet ta douleur. Il pleure avec toi. Mais Il veut te gu\u00e9rir.
\n\" L’\u00c9ternel est pr\u00e8s de ceux qui ont le c\u0153ur bris\u00e9, et Il sauve ceux qui ont l’esprit abattu.<\/strong> \"
\n– Psaume 34 :18<\/strong>
\n\" He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.<\/strong> \"
\n– Psaume 147 :3<\/strong>
\n________________________________________
\nBiblical advice for overcoming disappointment<\/strong>\n1. Acknowledge your pain before God<\/strong>
\nDon't pretend. Talk to Him. He understands and He consoles.
\n2. Forgive to be free<\/strong>
\nLe Psaumes 147 : on ne justifie pas le mal, mais lib\u00e8re ton c\u0153ur du poison de l’amertume.
\n\" Supportez-vous les uns les autres… pardonnez comme Christ vous a pardonn\u00e9.<\/strong> \"(Colossians 3:13)
\n3. Trust God, not men<\/strong>
\nEven the best can fail, but God is faithful.
\n\" Dieu n’est pas un homme pour mentir, ni un fils de l’homme pour se repentir.<\/strong> \" (Numbers 23:19)
\n4. \u00c9vite l’id\u00e9alisation des gens<\/strong>
\nPlace no one on the throne of your heart but Jesus.
\n5. Be wise in your relationship choices<\/strong>
\nPrie avant de t’engager. Ne te laisse pas s\u00e9duire par les apparences (2 Timoth\u00e9e 3 :5).
\n6. Nourish your relationship with God every day<\/strong>
\nPlus tu t’attaches \u00e0 Lui, moins tu d\u00e9pendras des hommes pour \u00eatre heureux.
\n________________________________________
\nA warning: don't be a source of disappointment<\/strong>\n\" Malheur \u00e0 celui par qui le scandale arrive ! Il vaudrait mieux pour lui qu’on suspende \u00e0 son cou une meule de moulin et qu’on le jette dans la mer.<\/strong> \"
\n– Luc 17 :1-2<\/strong>
\nSi tu as bless\u00e9 quelqu’un, trahi, menti, manipul\u00e9 : repens-toi aujourd’hui<\/strong>. Grace is still available, but don't delay. Ask for forgiveness, change your ways, make amends if you can.
\n________________________________________
\nCe que l’\u00c9glise doit faire<\/strong>
\nL’\u00c9glise ne doit pas fuir ce sujet. Il faut dare to talk about inner suffering<\/strong>welcoming the wounded, listening without judging, helping broken hearts to heal<\/strong>. Le silence tue. L’\u00c9glise est un h\u00f4pital spirituel, pas une vitrine de perfection.
\n________________________________________
\nIn summary: Place your trust in God alone<\/strong>
\nThe men disappoint, but God never disappoints<\/strong>. He is faithful, constant, true. Make Him your refuge.
\n\" Ceux qui se confient en l’\u00c9ternel sont comme la montagne de Sion : elle ne chancelle point, elle est affermie pour toujours.<\/strong> \"
\n– Psaume 125 :1<\/strong>
\n________________________________________\nRestoration prayer<\/strong><\/h4>\nLord Jesus,<\/strong>
\nTu vois mon c\u0153ur bless\u00e9. J’ai \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9\u00e7u(e), trahi(e), ignor\u00e9(e). Mais je viens \u00e0 toi pour te remettre cette douleur. Gu\u00e9ris-moi. Enseigne-moi \u00e0 pardonner. Je choisis de faire confiance \u00e0 toi, et non aux hommes. Sois mon refuge et mon appui. Aide-moi \u00e0 ne plus \u00eatre une source de scandale pour personne. Je crois que tu me rel\u00e8ves et me restaureras.
\nAmen.<\/strong>\n
