Expect To Receive

If you look at life the wrong way there is always cause for alarm. It’s the same way a N1000 bill can look so big when it goes to church and so small when it goes for shopping. What you see depends mainly on what you look for!

open-to-receiveTo one person the world is desolate, dull and empty; to another the same world looks rich, interesting and full of meaning. “Eyes that look are common. Eyes that see are rare,” says J. Oswald Sanders. If you look at life the wrong way there is always cause for alarm. It’s the same way a N1000 bill can look so big when it goes to church and so small when it goes for shopping. What you see depends mainly on what you look for!

Position yourself to receive, not resist. “Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.” (Normal Vincent Peale). When you are positioned right, opportunity presents itself. Opportunity can be missed if you are broadcasting when you should be tuning in.

Most people have trouble with the future because it arrives before they are ready for it. You’ll find that life responds to your outlook. We go where our vision is. Life is mostly a matter of expectation. “For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
