Being realistic in our expectations.

In our church life it is easy to become discouraged by the gap between the ideal and the real. Yet we must passionately love the church in spite of its imperfections.
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand , settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
