Expect the Promise
Today:
The focus on a promise and the expectation of that promise will create an atmosphere of possibility that will overcome the struggles in the lives that it encounters.
It’s not magic – it’s just a little shift in focus.
1. I have to train my words to speak the promises for others and over others.
2. I have to train my thoughts to rise up to the promise instead of falling down into the pit of negatives.
3. I have to keep my expectations focused on ME because I am the only one that I can control – and believe me that is enough to focus on.
4. I have to get into a habit that shows instead of asks. I will make more of an impact with the actions I take than the words that I speak.
5. I have to keep believing – because it may take a little while for my believe to take in the life of the person that is struggling.
#GrowingHOPE recognizes people are so much more than choices. People are more than actions. And people are definitely more than a moment. I have to be determined to see past the “I don’t like you” and into the heart.
1. I have to know there is a difference between where I am and where you are. And just recognizing that difference can make all the difference in the world.
2. I have to accept the differences in our journeys because where you are and where you are going will never be exactly like me and mine.
3. I have to take the time to see the struggles – not so that I can make excuses but so that I can understand that complete person (or at least get closer to understanding).
4. I have to know the promises – not just for me but for you – because we are each designed for a purpose and on purpose and when I remember that then I can see beyond the “I don’t like you” moments.
5. I have to expect the promises – not only do I need to understand what lies ahead but I have to make a determination that it will come to pass.
