Do you ever wonder why we dont walk on the ceiling? yeah, me too. Well apperantly there is this thing called Gravity. Gravity does this incredible thing that makes us (and lots of other stuff) stay on the floor.
Sometimes, Gravity=Society.
Society has this idea that 'young people' can't do much. The expectations for us teenagers are awfully low.
In youth we started the series "Do Hard Things." -->The guys said that we too often put the ceiling where the floor is. With that low of expectations, we are destined to fail.
God wants our ceilings(aka expectations) to be soo unbelievably high. But we can't stop there. No, we must try to climb and climb to the top. God's expections should be way beyond the roof top. Defy gravity [:
No one is perfect, but if we strive for perfection we can reach excellence.
Again, we can't just stop there. It goes so much beyond this. This concept also applies to witnessing. We shouldnt get angry with society's low expectations for us if we put the ceiling where the floor is in our witnessing to others. If we have that low of expectations about those who we witness to, doesn't that make us just like hypocrates. We need to raise our own expectations of ourselves and others.
I encourage you to reach higher and really excel. Pass up all expectations and do what God has planned for you. Step outside of your comfort zone.
What will matter in the end: If we met societies basement expectations that decieve and destroy us...or if we can climb up to the roof and get close to God.
God has a plan for EVERYONE. We need to be willing to listen and follow Him to do what we were made to do.
“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” -Psalm 62:5
