    1. The greatest enemy of you is you. Isn’t this always the case? People like to jump and blame the Devil as the enemy, but it doesn’t take a devil to make people fearful, lazy or rude. People act out of ignorance like an animal that doesn’t understand what it’s confronting. I’ve seen my dog bark at fire hydrants and parked motorcycles as if they were a grizzly bear or giant cat. We are no different as a species when it comes to feeling like what we believe is threatened. Christians are no different, and in most cases much worse than most because we label everything that we don’t understand as evil without ever really understanding a thing.

      The truth is that expectation is the greatest enemy of humanity. We are organic calculating machines that calculate everything and have an expectation that spoils our joy when it’s not achieved. We expect that everything should go as we plan and when something alters the plan it’s the enemy of happiness. It’s like walking through your house in a power outage where you expect everything to be in its place, but then you trip over something unexpectedly that keeps moving around in the darkness and trips you up again and again, and without any reasonable explanation. Only when the light has returned do we see it was something so simple and common that tripped us up so many times like a frightened pet turtle that escaped from its cage.

      Until the mind can put a name to the enemy it fears it can’t confront it. That’s why the likes of ghost stories frighten us because it is the helplessness that we fear. Expectation is the beast in the darkness, the bump in the night and the grizzly motorcycle we bark at. It’s all an illusion of expectation that’s the enemy. For what you expect will seldom bring you joy. It is only doing your best, without expectation, that will bring the greatest blessings, because everything you receive will be more than you expect. How glorious to be given without asking. All is then gain and all is then joy and glory.

      Live without expectation. Love without return. Give without repayment and only then will your joy return.

      (Luke 14: 7-14 is not about a feast nor honor, but being humble in mind and removing your expectations)
