Love came down

Expectation.

Sometimes the word is infused with the meaning of hope. Many times instead it gets twisted into a burden.

Foolish, self-inflicted expectation on myself and other people. And I try to protect myself by not having any expectations. Just so, you know, that I don’t burden myself or other people unnecessarily. Or to just not get disappointed.

Each time, You bring me back to this place. After I’ve fallen short of my own expectations. After I feel let down.

To put my hope and my trust in what is true, what is certain, what is unfailing.

Your love.

The Father’s love that led His Son to the cross. The Son’s love that gave His life for us.

Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
Lord I’m forever Yours
Mountains high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
