WHEW! Y'all, this episode took me somewhere! 😭
Have you ever been so disappointed with what God DIDN'T do that you almost missed what He WAS doing?
In Luke 24:21, two disciples said three words that really made me sit and think: "But we had hoped…"
How many of us are living in that very statement?
But I had hoped He would heal me.
But I had hoped that relationship would work.
But I had hoped that door would open.
But I had hoped things would turn out differently.
But here's the question: Did God actually promise us those things, or did we create expectations based on what WE wanted Him to do?
In this episode, we're unpacking the difference between God's promises and our personal expectations, how disappointment can challenge our understanding of His character, and what it means to surrender our expectations without abandoning our faith.
Because sometimes we aren't losing faith in God. We're losing faith in the version of God we created in our minds.
And listen, disappointment is real. Grief is real. Unanswered prayers hurt. But God's faithfulness isn't measured solely by whether we receive our desired outcome.
If Jesus never becomes who you expected Him to be, will you allow Him to show you who He really is?
