Just me trying to be honest with God.

“Expectation is the root of all heartache.” William Shakespeare

“My body and mind may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever.” Ps.73

Life's little disappointments can add up to one huge disappointment and rob us of the joy of living if we are not wise in our response to them.  There are proper expectations such as faithfulness in marriage or pay from an employer, but our expectations, especially of people, should not form the basis of our joy and happiness. We should never say, “I will be happy if…” but rather “I am happy because….” I am happy because God is the strength of my life. God is the only source of lasting joy. All the oil fields of earth will eventually run dry. Conversations Within” ts 7/27/2015
