To be honest, I haven't been very good at this. The whole "doing" thing. I spent many years of my life with BIG dreams but little endurance and/or drive to see them come to life. I would promise people the world and barely deliver a blade of grass. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but maybe not. It's hard to pinpoint all of the possible reasons I would behave this way, but one is probably pride. Thinking that my ideas were so great that they would just have to happen the way i imagined them. But they wouldn't, not without hard work and help. Help has never been an easy thing for me to ask for and people rejecting my ideas is probably one of the reasons i don't ask... again, that whole pride thing.
Love Does among a number of things God has been doing in my life over the past 5 years have certainly been teaching me humility. I'm definitely learning what IS within my reach to promise to people, don't get me wrong I would still LOVE to promise them the world, but i know the devastation that comes to both parties involved when i can't deliver. I'm truly learning too, that turning my eyes and others eyes towards Jesus is the Only Way we will know about the best promises that we all have been given that go far beyond this world and it's imaginations.
