Stay With God

Choosing to live with expectancy rather than expectations doesn’t mean we accept situations passively. Or pretend everything is sunshine and roses. Not at all. But we step into it with God. This requires the humility to accept the fact that we don’t know how things will ultimately work out. Thankfully, the future isn’t constrained to our list of potential outcomes. Where we see looming problems and limited options, He sees an exponential range of possibilities. 

It’s impossible to be expectant and controlling at the same time. Our hands—and our hearts— are either open or closed. One is a posture of relinquishing control. The other is a posture that grows more rigid. 

I realize that if I can accomplish something purely in my own strength, those dreams were way too small.
