God longs to exceed our expectations! Is our dream too small and our expectations too low?
Sometimes God blocks that door, opportunity, friendship, relationship, allows that sabotage, allows the heartbreak, or opportunity to pass by because He has a better idea!! As C.S Lewis so eloquently stated in the Weight of Glory, “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
God is in the business of increase and upgrades for those who love Him. Every good and perfect gift comes from God (James 1:17). God does exceedingly, abundantly, above ALL we could ask or image.
Sometimes our dream is too small and our expectations too low. The greatest pleasure is found in God. The secondary pleasure is in His custom gifts for us.
As a loving Father, God will allow doors to close where we are mistreated or will not be valued. Sometimes that thing that did not work out was a rescue mission by God. Sometimes that opportunity that did not pan out was protection from drama, trauma, and heartache!
God is always looking out for our best interests even when we can not see it, feel it, or know. He is a loving Father who withholds nothing good from us! Thank God for the no!
One freeing thought God gave me once. He said, “I will never allow someone to overlook you who needs to see you.” Rejection is often His protection. And some will not value you until someone they value acknowledges you; that is an opportunist, not a true friend.
Be blessed today and dream BIGGER with God.

Thank you amiga, this word is so good and so true – why is it that we(humans) tend to go low in our expectations? Is it identity, fear, disappointment in the pass that why try? You know amiga, I know that God is greater than all, He created the universe and all in it, yet I(some people) put Him in a human box. Knowing yet not speaking and praying for the best, ect…..
I would think as you mention(other words) that God would be like why would I give you that Mari when that is so minimal to what I want and have for you.
In appreciation for your insight and wisdom.
Bless you!
