Expectancy

Suzanne L. Brown

Originally published online on September 23, 2022

Expect Life,
Expect to grow,
Expect to hear and expect to know.
Expect help here when it needs to be.
Expect peace and joy abundantly.
Expect to give,
Expect to receive,
Expect the Truth that meets each need.
Expect God’s love,
Expect God’s zeal,
And with rejoicing,
Expect to heal.
Expect the journey to be ever sweet . . .
Expect the victory and not defeat.
Expect God’s goodness that opens the door
To recognize good and expect even more. . . .
