Obedience To God, Not The Expecatations of Others

Sometimes we find that other people have scripts for our lives.  Their scripts may be good or bad; they may be well-meaning or they may be motivated by their own self-interest.  I’ve often been far too influenced by the expectations [or demands] of others.  But it’s helpful for us to remember that the point of our lives is not to live up to other people’s scripts, it is to be obedient to God’s call.
