Purpose Driven Life 6

There is a whole lot of “don’t expect anything good in this life” in the chapter. I think things are not that bleak. For example, if we let the Holy Spirit in we will gain “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Gal 5:22). That doesn’t sound too bad. As a matter of fact, if we were living in a community of spirit filled people I am pretty sure it would give heaven a run for its money.

On the other hand, if one expects satisfaction from the "things" in life, disappointment is inevitable. Maybe that is what was intended.
