What are you willing to give to get

We all have expectations in life; things we would love to see happen or believe it should just be "this way." Many times, we expect others to meet our expectations. If we rely solely on others to met our expectations, we will almost always feel disappointed. Expect top notch athlete's to never make a foolish choice? Unless, you know one and are involved in their life, it probably won't happen.

The best method of achieving our expectations is to recognize we must give something of ourselves to see our expectations met.

If I expect people to pay attention to my sermons, then I need to do the hard work during the week to prepare and craft something that is engaging not simply entertaining or a lecture. If I expect to go on vacation without going into debt, I need to save money now.

What are your expectations in life? for your job? for your worship of God?

What are you willing to do to make the expectations come true? What are you will to give to get your expectations met?
