2 - Reflect
Sometimes we give ourselves over to a promise and it does not work out. Perhaps we place the weight of keeping a secret or of fulfilling a greater duty into our neighbor's hands. We place expectations on what is expected, in what we believe may change our lives. Sometimes we have to adjust what we want to happen or what someone else promises us, since the result can be very different from the one we truly want. For example, it is difficult to keep faith in a transformation whenever the change has already been made and it was not the way we imagined it, that clash with reality can be devastating.
Our illusions, our desires are often contingent on the resolve of another, and this may confuse what should be offered or simply may not be able to satisfy us completely. When that person fails, in one way or another we will be confused and we will ask ourselves if we have done something wrong for the other person to not comply with what was expected. The glory will only be in its ultimate form in the hands of Christ Our Lord. In Him we will find all the answers and our desires will be fully recognized, because God the Father is our savior and will free us from all sorrow.
