Believe God
"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." -- John 8:36
Don't you just hate expectations? Someone always expects something from us. We're to behave a certain way, do certain things, say or don't say what we mean. I could go on and on. People want us to be how they think we should be.
I understand that some expectations are good. We expect, for example, that someone driving a car on the highway is actually a licensed driver. We need rules like that. But what about the expections that limit who and what we are?
A teacher tells us we aren't smart -- and we believe her. A parent tells us we can't reach our dreams -- and we believe it. We believe we aren't pretty, aren't worthy, aren't capable. We believe all those around us -- voices of Satan -- who tell us we can't do what we truly believe God has called us to do.
The truth will set you free. It's what the Bible says. So what would happen if you stopped believing all the lies you hear that limit you and started believing what God thinks about you? The possibilities become endless.
God wants good things for you and me. He wants us to be happy and successful. He wants us to live our lives in His will, doing His work, for His glory. He wants to set us free from the sin that holds us in bondage. And that's what sin does. It limits all the possibilities that God offers His children.
So get down on your knees and ask God to show you what He has laid out for you. Bask in His love and accept His gifts. He has great plans for you that go far beyond anything you could ever imagine. Let Him show you all that you can be when you walk in His will.
