Expectations—Ovi Poetry Challenge

Offended? But that doesn’t count.
I won’t expect what can’t amount
to anything. We want His fount,
His well of living water.

Ronovan Hester offers the inspiration “expectations” for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted on Poet’s Corner.

John 4:10-14 KJV
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
