Accepted is Expected // Divine Detours

Everyone has expectations. Expectations for ourselves, our kids, our bosses, our family & friends—even, and especially, expectations for God. But expectations often don’t translate into reality. And when that happens—when our expectations don't match our experiences—frustration enters the picture, along with anger, depression and hopelessness. But what if we saw our edited expectations as “Divine Detours?” What if we embraced them as opportunities for God to show up in bigger and better ways than ever before? - We know that we put expectations on other people, and they put expectations on us. And we know that we put expectations on God...but does he put expectations on us? You may be thinking, “If so, he’s going to really need to edit his expectations, because I know I can’t live up to whatever he has in mind!” However, what if what God expects isn’t for us to be flawless, but to simply be faithful? https://www.cornerstonechurch.info/archiveblog/2020/12/19/accepted-is-expected-divine-detours-1
