“Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13
It is love that saves us when we’re about to give up. Love for what we do, and love for whom we do it for. Love helps us to try again and again. It propels us to exhaust every possible means we could ever do and think of. It enables us to reach beyond that point where most people would see no hope of ever achieving their dreams.
Love gives us a reason to keep on going even when we think we have done everything we could. We start to see that we have only truly done everything, if we have never given up on love.
Love often knows no measure,
but burns beyond all measure.
Love feels no burden, values no labours,
would like to do more than it can do,
without excusing itself with impossibility,
because it believes that it may and can do all things.
-Thomas Kempis
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
