Realistic Expectations

Unrealistic expectations concerning our life and circumstances can be a tool used by our enemy, Satan, to bring us into discouragement and despair.

As long as you live in the deception of unrealistic expectations, you will never succeed at being yourself. Expect God to meet your needs rather than people.

My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
--- Psalm 62:5


My own reflection on this Thought:
* Watching Hollywood movies, makes us get used to dream and dream. And sometimes in reality, we also keep dreaming, not realizing how important it is to stay realistic. Dreaming is ok in some ways, as long as we can be a realistic person at the same time. Unrealistic expectations makes us live in deception. Trust God to meet our needs and be realistic. When it's ours and it's from God, nothing or nobody will take it away from us... (-fon-)
