Change your Focus

We have expectations: they let us down. We react childishly: they get angry. The situation is tense. After a while everyone cools down.

The story repeats itself again and again until one of us changes our behaviour, lowers our expectations and stops expecting any human to meet our needs.

You see, it can’t be done. God is the only one who knows what we need and meets that need.

I am speaking the truth in love. When we focus on God instead of people, we are in touch with  the one who really can make a change.

“Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace. (Matthew 6:6, MSG)

Prayer-Lord give us grace to love you more than we love others or even our selves. Amen
