Prepared for Disappointment

"Be prepared to be disappointed in the best and surprised in the worst of folks. Don’t expect too much of mankind." - Vance Havner

He is not being pessimistic, but realistic.

We set ourselves up for disappointment in people when we do not recognize that we are all frail, fragile, and flawed.

We have to deal with this in our own minds and discontinue our membership in any cult of hero worship if that means we must set our heroes up as invulnerable.

I need vulnerable heroes who need God and His grace and mercy as much as I do to function.
