Catherine Marshall stated, "God allows us to have disappointments, frustrations, or even worse, because He wants us to see that our joy is not in such worldly pleasures...our joy is in the fact that we have a relationship with God.” If we want to impress a person, their opinion means too much to us; therefore, their scorn demoralizes us. If we want to amass worldly goods, but we fall on hard times financially, the disappointment devastates us. If we want to obtain notoriety and fame, yet we live in obscurity most of our lives, then the lack of notice desolates us. Once we realize the point that Catherine Marshal is making in her statement, and it sinks into our understanding, worldly disappointments no longer affect us so severely. They hit us, but bounce off instead of piercing us to the heart....kat
