How would you respond to the following statement (Wayne Jacobsen, He Loves Me!, 2007, p. 170)?

«Disappointed expectations destroy relationships because we look to others in ways God wants us to look to him. Such expectations set us up for enduring frustration. However, when we give up our expectations of people, we'll find God uses some of the most unlikely people to lend us a hand. Our frustration will yield to gratefulness whenever and however God uses others to touch us or us to touch others.»

What lays behind your being disappointed with other people? Could it be that part of the problem lay in your own expectations of them ? How could your own expectations perhaps be part of the problem? What can you do about it?
