To see clearly and understand what’s been communicated builds a bridge to sound decisions and possibilities. The phrase, “I see what you mean,” indicates both comprehension and understanding. To see ourselves as we want others to see us should motivate us consistently to mean what we say and say what we mean.
God commissions us to be messengers of encouragement and information to others so they clearly understand how to be the people he expects them to be. Realistic expectations that are achievable challenge us to press onward and upward so as not to disappoint ourselves and others. God enables us to achieve what he calls us to do.
As we accept that God knows us completely, including our future, he gives us strength and courage to fulfill his continuous purpose for us. This should be encouragement to press on and face any obstacle. Let your expectations be commensurate with your love and trust for God, who will never fail to fulfill his purpose for you.

Our purpose is to do what is right, not only in the
sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others.
~2 Corinthians 8:21 Good News Bible
The wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure
and full of quiet gentleness. Then it is
peace-loving and courteous. It allows discussion and is willing to yield to
others. It is wholehearted and straightforward and sincere.
~James 3:17 The Living Bible
