Expectations
If you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinking it’s an idiot. (Albert Einstein, renowned scientist)
We sometimes make judgments about others before we really know them. As a result, our expectations may hinder their growth. Like the fish that doesn’t live up to what others think he should be able to do, we see ourselves as a failure. We will do much better if we help someone find his or her natural gifting and facilitate their growth to a wholesome and productive life.
In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. (Romans 12:6a)
