“Expectations and faith can go hand in hand or they can run counter to each other. It all depends on where our expectations are placed. Are they placed in the outcome or are they placed in who He is? You see, if our expectations are anchored in the outcome, we will be disappointed and lose faith when the outcome does not match up with what we expected. God’s goodness will come into question, and we will be in danger of losing faith in Him.”

“Expectations of love
Felt, but not heard,
Experienced, but not rumpus,
Her every love kissed word,
That is often about us,
When she utters it,
Her eyes speak it,
My heart hears it,
While my mind helplessly flirts with it,
Always offered, but never demanded,
Invested, but never lost,
These are the moments of love by her commanded,
That keep us away from the time’s frost,
And when I am felt by them,
These infinite moments of love, I feel I live for them,
Because often it feels I live through them,
As she smiles at me through all of them,
Always accepted and never denied,
Always expected and never unwelcome,
Her wishes and desires united,
That my heart and mind always welcome,
And ah the feelings of joys experienced then,
And the endless feelings of love flowing through me then,
As she journeys through me then,
And I confess to her, “I love you now, as I loved you then!”
