![“There is a satisfaction we don't want to come to until we come to it in God…[Disappointments] serve to remind us every day that we cannot make life work the way we want…If we'll let it, the disappointment can be God's way of continually drawing us back to himself.” quote by John Eldredge](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/830/john-eldredge-1487_disappointment_there-is-a-satisfaction-we-don-t-want-to_71871.jpg)
