Expectation

People will rise to meet the level of your expectation of them.

John 13:34 The Voice

So I give you a new command: Love each other deeply and fully. Remember the ways that I have loved you, and demonstrate your love for others in those same ways.

The way we love others often shows our expectations of them. For instance, if we make them feel shame and break their spirit, then we're not loving them as Jesus loves us. Jesus has never put shame on me or broken my spirit. When we do this, we're saying I don't trust you. Without a known trust, potential will never be met because the expectation is failure, not success.

Are you allowing for people to meet their potential or expecting failure from them?
