Only the divine, the truly righteous, make it past the grave in glory. Thank God that grace is freely given and the price for our sin was paid by Jesus. While I "blew it" he renewed it!Let us
Let us Pray:
Kind and Loving Father, thank you for being so generous with your grace. May I be as passionate for your righteousness as you were in redeeming me from my sin. Through Jesus I ask this. Amen.

Positive Expectations…
You are what you expect of yourself, what you think of yourself.
If you’re a golfer who usually shoots in the mid-90s, and you shoot a 39 on the first nine holes, then you’ll likely compensate with a lousy performance on the back nine to finish up at your usual score. If you’re salesperson earning $120,000 a year and you lose your job, chances are you’ll find another job that earns you around $120,000 a year.
Success is often hindered by nothing more than low expectations. You may have the best education, an impressive list of contacts, skills, experience and a growing market — but if you don’t see yourself as succeeding, you won’t.
Every day, you talk to yourself more than you talk to anyone else. Your inner voice is constantly advising you and reminding you. What is it saying? Is it saying "Yes, you can do this" or is it saying "there’s no way you can do this"? The difference is crucial. And the good news it, you can change that inner voice. All it takes is a commitment to expect more of you. In an instant, you can change your expectations from negative to positive.
