It’s often difficult for us to get our hopes up for anything great because we’ve been let down so many times. The truth is — life and people have a way of letting us down. Because of this, we find it easier to just expect anything great, even when it’s something God has promised. But to move forward into the fullness of what God has for our lives, we have to move beyond past disappointments, and raise our hopes and expectations to the level of what’s He’s spoken.
