All of us have expectations, about everyone and everything, including expectations about ourselves. The question is, do our expectations match with what we are here for?
- What are we here for? To love and give, or to be loved and receive? To serve or to be served?
- God's main goals for us here is first, to love Him, then to love others as ourselves.
Of course sometimes we have to think reasonably but if God is telling us something, for example, we have saved some money and we aren't sure what we were going to do with it, we had plans, let's say a trip, or a new couch. And then God tells us, give it to the poor, or do something specific with it. We have to do it, no question.
- It may be frustrating that we have to put our desires down in order to fulfill God's desires, but it is all worth it and in cause of a bigger and better plan.
- If our expectations are to please God to begin with, our own wants will mostly match with His, and there will be no space for frustration and it will be easier for us to let go on earthly things.
