Disappointments aren’t fun to ponder, and painful scripts aren’t easy to replay, but let’s pause for a moment and consider your “uns” (I promise this little exercise will be worth it!). Right here, right now, we are gonna write new scripts. Are you ready? Remember the power you have access to: God can do more than. Feel this power: God can do superabundantly immeasurably more.
Unmet expectations? Say: “God will superabundantly exceed my expectations.”
Unfulfilled dreams? Say: “God will superabundantly surpass my dreams.”
Unanswered prayers? Say: “God’s answer will be superabundantly greater than I expect.”
Unwanted situations? Say: “God’s resolution will be superabundantly better than mine.”
Repeat the new scripts aloud. Let them marinate deep into your soul. God will transform your greatest disappointments and repair your most hurtful rejections. He wants to do this for you, and He can do this for you: “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” He gave His Son so you could have a life that is greater than the sum of your sorrows.
The immeasurably more life is
- greater than the sum of your failures
- greater than the sum of your past experiences
- greater than the sum of your hopes
- greater than the sum of your accomplishments
- greater than the sum of your bank account
- greater than the sum of your titles and degrees.
Friend, even if your good is really good, your really good is not as good as it gets. With Christ, good gets better, better gets great, and great, well, gets extraordinary. The immeasurably more life is the extraordinary life. It’s the life you’ve longed for but only dreamed of living.
Let’s settle something before we move any further: because we live in a fallen world, we will experience numbness and the heartaches of “uns.” But they do not have to have power over us. In Yes, No, and Maybe, we are going to trade our unmet expectations, unfulfilled dreams, unanswered prayers, and unwanted situations for an inconceivable and indescribably life.
Our journey to living an immeasurably more life will begin in the book of Acts where we will meet a man named Saul who had an unbelievable encounter with God. After this life-altering event, he became known as the apostle Paul. We will travel with him, read his letters to the early churches, and discover how to live the life Jesus died to give—the immeasurably more life.
In the how-tos, we will learn how and when to use three simple yet powerful words: yes, no, and maybe. Each of the three main sections of the book focuses on one word and its related theme:
- Yes Cultivates Trust
- No Invites Revelation
- Maybe Welcomes Freedom

Sometimes when life feels mundane, we succumb to the weariness of every unmet expectation, unfulfilled dream, and unanswered prayer. In this reading plan, Wendy Pope takes you on a journey with Paul to discover anew His call to live the life Jesus died to give—the immeasurably more life. Along the way, you'll discover three words that can revitalize your relationship with Christ: yes, no, and maybe.
