First came across this when I was studying,
and it proved true at work and when dealing with people too.
The expectations triangle.
Where people want all three.
So that they can maximise their value.
And I'm sad to say...it is not only the corporate world that has this...
But we bring this into the church, into our lives and we live for "maximising value",
to the detriment of ourselves.
Not everything can be valued that way...and we are poorer for thinking that it can be...
In God's economy, perhaps the paradigm is this...
1) There is no timing like God's timing, delays, waiting, detours, and time itself all bow to Jesus
2) Good readily obscures God's best, are you willing to pay the price? and walk in faith?
3) Wealth that is hoarded and kept, isn't wealth at all. It is stinginess. True wealth is the beggar on the street, getting a single sweet and breaking it to share with his friends. Just like communion.
What are your values, please?

That is the expectations triangle
But the reality is much less pretty...
And it looks more like this...
