Most people will never write an autobiography of their lives because their lives are too ordinary to capture the interest of those who buy books. However, each phase of life can be anything but ordinary. God intended for each person to master specific tasks in their ordinary lives.
What can create a crisis for adults are important expectations which never come to fruition. If unmet expectations are contributing to your lack of self-fulfillment and happiness, perhaps now is the appropriate moment to be honest with yourself and ask the Lord God to help you change your expectations.
It takes tremendous resilience and determination to successfully change what you expect from God, others, and yourself. Be realistic about what God has provided for you from your birth forward, then be thankful and celebrate. Listen to Ephesians 6:10: “Build your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.” Begin now.
____________
Let
your roots grow deep into [Christ], and let your lives be built on him. Then your
faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with
thankfulness.
~Colossians
2:7 New Living Translation
