Through life’s experiences I’ve learned that expecting too much from a person can be deadly to your soul. A lot of the time we expect a person to give us simply what we gave them. That expectation can be respect. That expectation can be trust. That expectation can be loyalty. Expectation can be our biggest downfall.
I say that to say this: A PERSON CAN NOT GIVE YOU WHAT THEY DON’T HAVE.
Whether it be hope, truth, or positivity…If a person DOES NOT possess these characteristics in their character…they can not give it to you. A hopeless person can’t give you hope. A liar can’t give you the truth. A negative person can’t give you positivity.
Sometimes we align ourselves with these beings believing that just maybe this person will do for me what they didn’t do for someone else. Just maybe this person won’t lie to me like they lied to someone else. We believe that this person will change just for us. Wrong. We are expecting too much.
A person can not give you vision if they don’t have sight. A person can not give you knowledge if they lack wisdom. A person can not love you if they don’t love themselves. Think to yourself of how this person carries themselves, handles the people around, etc.. If a person seems to not value their life, their children’s lives, their job, their finances, their living quarters, etc.; why do we expect them to value our heart?
Take your power back and do not be afraid to walk away. Pray that God reveals to you all that you need to see in order to move forward. Lower your expectation in man. Higher your expectation in God. God bless.
Until next time…
