Have you ever thought it is not meant for you to understand?
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17 -
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
We try to understand people. We try hard to figure out what makes a person do what they do or act the way they act. All of our trying, sometimes leads us to frustration. We have to understand that people are God's creation. It is not for us to decipher, who what when or why....
We have to trust God in all things. In all of our trials, as well as, our relationships. We have to check our own hearts. We have to make sure that the root of hurt, pain, deceit, and anger doesn't become embedded in us and cause us to act outside of God's will. God's will is that we love everyone without restrictions and without "buts" (but he hurt me, but he doesn't love me, but he just doesn't do what God says). He wants us to trust Him and love everyone. There are no "buts" in God.
We have to be careful that we put not our trust in man. It is only when we put to much trust in a man that they tend to let us down. Because we "thought" they would act differently or do something differently. We must give everything and everyone over to God and trust Him to do in them whatever needs to be done in order for His will and His plan (not our will or our plan) to be done in their lives.
So don't be angry when people don't measure up to what you thought. They are just not there yet. Or maybe its just not where God wants them to be. Just trust God to get them where they need to be and you just take a stand. While you are standing.....be sure to trust God (not only for yourself but for those around you too).
