Expectations

This is a few thoughts on expectations. Expectations can be good, but for the most part bad. If you expect something to happen and it does not come true, then you feel bad. In my life I know I live through expectations, and I can tell you that it hurts. When expectations are not met then feelings get hurt. Plain and simple as that. This makes senses, but do i have no expectations, NO. Expecting someone to do something is all about trust. When someone does not meet your expectations, then your trust for them is hurt. Of course there are unrealistic expectations. These are things that you wish to happen from other people and usually don't. These expectations would take a change in the person you wish it upon for the expectation to come true. Unrealistic expectations hurt much more then regular expectations. I have been hurt by both. That is why the only person to put trust in and when you expect something, unrealistic or not is God. God keeps His promises, the only problem is that God will for our lives is different then our will for our life. So if we see and expectation that we feel God did not meet, don't get hurt just remember that God is bigger and looking out for our best interest. This is what I have experienced in my life with expectations, and I am still struggling with!
