“It always protects, always trusts, always hopes…” (1 Corinthians 13:7)
Love always hopes. Hope is more than a wish; it’s an expectation; a certain confidence in the future of someone or something. It is this hope, seeing beyond the present, which keeps love alive in difficult times.
The three greatest virtues of life are faith, hope and love. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and love always hopes. Therefore without hope, both faith and love will be greatly impoverished.
All our relationships will at certain points in time be punctuated by episodes of hurt. It’s hope that enables us to stretch our horizon beyond the hurt we presently feel and embrace the brighter possibilities of the future.
Robert Schuller, an American televangelist and author once gave this admonition: “Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.”
Memories of the past may instruct us today, but it’s our hope for the future that brightens our today.
Human love can hardly be perfect. But so long as we are filled with hope for better days ahead, we can always share warm affection despite our present inadequacies.
Sometimes, the best gift you can give to your spouse or any loved one is your faith in their better tomorrow. Never forget, love always hopes.
Remain inspired!
