Beloved, you used to think that the key to avoiding disappointment was to "manage your expectations" - but this essentially meant expecting a low level outcome and anything better was a bonus. But this did not work very well, as it was from a negative, earthbound perspective. Beloved, you could not understand how to be expectant in faith, but then not disappointed if things you hoped for did not come to pass.
A child who loves and trusts her Father perfectly and knows that she is loved perfectly can ask Daddy for anything with hopeful expectancy, and joyfully accept a "no" or "not yet", because she trusts Him completely - and knows He has His perfect, unselfish reasons for that answer. These reasons are never lack of supply, for Daddy has access to unlimited supply! These reasons are never manipulative or on a selfish whim. These reasons always flow from Perfect Love. Trust Me completely, My Dear Child.
You never need be beset by disappointment or discouragement again!
