“Oh man, I can’t wait to get that thing! I barely slept last night just thinking about how great it is going to be! It will make me so happy, so complete. This is really it , I’ve wanted this for so long.”
Then we get it and within moments we begin to test the truth of those expectations. Then we note the first flaw, then another. If we encounter a major flaw too quickly the shock of disappointment strikes like a rock, pow. What! Oh Crap!
The aerodynamics of our expectations begin to wither. The spiral downward ensues, and as we pass the threshold of negativity our opinion of that object of our desire is shattered. The thud of a wasted mass of anticipation is heard hitting ground, softened by cold rain. The parade is over. And we begin the cycle again.
Maybe we learn from the roller coaster ride, maybe we don’t.
Maybe we grow skeptical that anything is achievable, that any object will be true to it’s expectation. Maybe we become so sour to anything new that we adopt a bit more vicious version of Eore's litany “It will never work, why bother.” No one wants to be the delusional twerp who believes in a hopeless cause and then fakes bits of outcome to bolster his lame mental construct.
Our Maker desires neither unreal fantasy nor skepticism from us. He wants us to come without any of this. Our physical world gives us so many conflicting lessons that we cannot reconcile with an all-powerful spiritual being. So we must approach empty. This is not an amusement ride. Forget the trestles and the launching devices. There are no seat- belts either, just Him and you and all that He is which is not comprehend-able to our mortal selves. The Highest of our expectations are specks of dust to him. And the greatest disappointments rectified by his mere glance in eternity.
What’s in Your worship?
