"Some pundit sipping carbonated knowledge said it somewhere: Reality – Expectations = Happiness
The equation supposedly goes like this: if your reality is greater than your expectations, then you’re happy.
[Reality (25) - Expectations (6) = Happiness (21)]
But if your expectations turn out to be greater than your reality, then you’re unhappy.
[Reality (25) - Expectations (35) = {Un}Happiness (-10) ]Your Reality in Christ is that you’re 100% saved, redeemed, accepted, carried, cared for, watched over, provided for, comforted, loved. Christ isn’t just sort of for you, Christ is 100% for you – your Reality is 100% safe in Him.
As for expectations — your expectations have a direct correlation on your irritations. The higher your expectations, the greater your irritations.The formula for life turns out to be blessedly simple:
Reality in Christ (1oo%) – Expectations (0%) = A Happiness — that has nothing to do with what Happens
The waves just keep coming and they can.
And there’s the Father always there, catching …
all this happiness –
just in Him —
right into last light."
