ng.
We are to be a people that are not driven by results.
We cannot only orient ourselves to our expectations – God wants so much more for us and this requires waiting at times.
The suffering our world is facing is already impossible, so it requires a hope that cann
ot and will not be based on results if anything is to be done.
Many good missionaries leave the mission field because they didn’t see the results they expected.
We see this in broken marriages as well.
As the bride of Christ, be ready to love based on principles, upon character, and upon what you have received freely from God, not on results.
Nothing else will do and then be prepared to be disappointed.
