About going past great expectations...

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (NIV) With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.

Living with great expectations, living with a life full of great hopes and dreams is a tremendous asset. However, we must go beyond expectations in our life. We must go beyond expectations into taking action to pursue our hopes, dreams, and expectations. Living with expectations can be and sometimes is a passive way of life. When we go past expectation into action we begin to explore ways of making our expectations become reality. When we go past expectation into action, we move from the passive into the active. It is great to expect God to do great things for you. It is greater for you to begin to ask questions and pursue actions about how you can prepare yourself to receive what God has to offer. It is still greater to ask questions and pursue actions about how you can prepare yourself to do all you can to deliver on the great hopes and expectations held by others in God's name.
