Digging Deeper | Trusting God When People Let You Down

A practical reflection to help you apply the message from this week’s magazine.

Dear Friends,

In this week’s Just Between Us magazine, we’re exploring what it looks like when people let us down—and how God’s faithfulness never does. Cherie’s story of learning to trust God even when people disappoint, Lysa’s wise biblical insights for navigating relationship conflicts, and Jill’s encouragement to let God transform our hearts so we can love the hardest people well.

These stories and teachings set the perfect foundation for today’s deeper reflection. We hope it allows you to release your anxiety and hurt from the times people have let you down so you can live fully in the freedom of His love.

Encouraging you in God’s truth,

Deep Dive | The Steadfast Love of the Lord

"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness” (Lam. 3:22–23, ESV).

Every one of us has faced moments when someone failed to keep a promise, acted in a hurtful way, or simply wasn’t there when we needed them. These disappointments can leave us wary, guarded, or even questioning God’s care. But Scripture paints a radically different picture of the One we follow — a God whose love is steadfast, whose faithfulness is constant, and whose character never changes.

Lamentations was written in the midst of deep grief, yet tucked into the middle is this bold declaration: God’s love and mercy are new every morning. That means His goodness doesn’t just endure—it renews.
