From "expect" via podcast by Erwin McManus (2)

We've all known our moments of fear. We've all been the best of cowards. We've all been weak and feeble at times.

Here may be the dilemma for some. You may only know who you have been, but you do not realize who you are becoming. You are no longer one who has to shrink back.

It should not surprise you that you cannot live a life of dreams unless you begin to live a life of expectation.

If you are optimistic it is because you are deluded. You are wandering in the desert and you see and oasis. No wonder people thing you are out of your mind it is because you are. The pessimistic and cynic sees what is, the optimist sees what can become. What is possible.

The world needs you to believe. Believe. Expect.

For those who think you cannot do this:

Hebrews 12:12 "Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees." My Indian name is Feeble Arms and your Weak Knees. People need to see us step out and up of our fears so they can find healing through your faith. Hebrews 12:13 "Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed."

The idealist, optimist, the believer, the one who sees what doesn't exist but refuses to believe it cannot exist. That's the person who changes the world. Only the believer can create the future.

AMEN, Steve Nethery
