our expectations, our sense of entitle...Hey Steve,<br /><br />our expectations, our sense of entitlement and what we feel we deserve out of life are three very interesting concepts to me. They determine so much of what kind of experiences we are allowed to have in this life, as well as how we view them: Will these experiences we're granted make us happy or unhappy?<br /><br />It is so important for each person, for each individual psychological structure, to get these questions handled to achieve true joy.<br /><br /><br />That's why I enjoyed your article so much. This really resonates with me:<br /><br /><br />"Sure, we’re to expect God to break through—as God promises to do—but the trouble is God’s not often breaking through miraculously so far as we’re personally concerned. God’s usually got a bigger agenda. <br /><br />But we’re not insignificant—not in God’s sight."<br /><br />Here's something I want to add: We're never insignificant. Never. But what I found out what really helped me is TO ALIGN WITH the Universes agenda (I use the word "Universe" instead of "God").<br /><br />Now, of course no single human being can claim to know what the Universes agenda is. However, you can closely listen to what your life is telling you and go from there. That's a good starting point in my opinion.<br /><br /><br />So Steve, thank you for this inspiring article. I saved your blog and I'm going to check back in. ;-)<br /><br />Keep up the good work,<br /><br />Sven SchoeneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333087786211191796.post-83816915885565484642010-09-23T20:26:30.454+08:002010-09-23T20:26:30.454+08:00I enjoy your writings thank you for sharing God...I enjoy your writings thank you for sharing God's word as you do!NkstOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09488180597325111946noreply@blogger.com
