Unfulfilled expectations are not all bad. In fact, not all things in life are all good or all bad. Looking at things as all good, or all bad can set us up for highs and lows. We live a roller-coaster life. When you have a roller coaster life you seemingly have no control, however you can get off the ride. We have choices in life.
Proverbs 15:16 "Better is a little with the fear of the LORD Than great treasure and turmoil with it"
ACTION STEP: Think through your expectations of yourself and others. Talk to people who are managing life successfully be that your pastor, your parents, a counselor, or someone who manages life ups and downs in a healthy manner. Praying strengthens our inner man. God desires to intervene in the lives of His children. Once we make Jesus our Lord and Savior then, He becomes just that--our master, the Boss. We still have free choices. We are willingly submissive servants. The choice is ours. Ups and downs, or a journey with Jesus where He holds on to us and we hold on to Him, and ride together. God knows what we can handle.
