Over the years I have had many different forms of expectations. They have always been in people, places or things. No matter where I went, enwhat I did or who I was with, I formed an intended outcome in my mind about the situations or circumstances which I thought would be the best.
When they didn’t work out like I had planned or hoped they would, I was always disappointed or disheartened. I didn’t realize it, but I was continually setting myself up for eventual failure. Even when things turned out to be temporarily successful, the best I could accomplish was never good enough.
Then the day came when I found my contentment in the Lord. What a glorious day that was. I no longer had to find pleasure in other people, places or things. I can enjoy fellowship with Him continually and in the process of doing that I am able to also enjoy everyone I am with, everywhere I go and in everything I am doing.
I pray that God will help me stay focused on abiding in Christ and keep expectations in Him.
