Hope vs. Expectations

Hope vs. Expectations

I was talking with a good friend recently and he asked me a good question: What's the difference between having hope in God during a difficult time and simply putting our own expectations on God?

Hope is clearly supposed to be an important part of a life of faith. According to Paul, it's one of the three most important things in life, but expectations can be a killer.

So what's the difference between hope and just making a list that I want God to complete?
