Expectations

That's Men for the Master chairman Giyani Matampi at the head of the table at the first meeting of the Couple's Fellowship ... we have great expectations of this Forum

Matthew 18:4 Whoever humbles himself like this child; he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

When a person has expectations, it creates a situation whereby one automatically judges whether the expectation is met or not. This has become so entrenched in most of us that we have all developed expectations about many things in life. We have an expectation of how Christians should act and live, we have expectations about our families, and so we may list these and many others.

True humility has no expectations; it is the acceptance of the situation without judging. It is in this way that nobody disappoints us, because we have no expectation in regard to them or the situation we find ourselves in. Where we are and who we are with, is where God wants us to be and to accept the other for whom they are without putting our expectations on them. This becomes extremely difficult because all that we are in this world is based on some kind of expectation or other.

When we deal with others we need to have no expectations, we do what we need to do, and we do not expect any help from others. When we live our life dependant on God, then we find that we need not be dependant on others, and so we find that freedom that comes from not being bound by expectations others may have on us.

Be encouraged today to have no expectations from others, only from God.

David

Point to ponder: God is the only One we can truly trust.

Question to consider: Do you live your life to fill others expectations of you?
