“Where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith.” Robert Brault

Love...always hopes, always perseveres. 1Cor.13

It is because of hope that love perseveres. But Christian hope is more like expectation than wishful thinking. Our hope is founded on God's promises, so there are good reasons to fully expect that He will keep them. In this sense, hope, faith and love become partners, the “cord of three strands” that is not easily broken. An expectant mother will endure the trials of pregnancy and labor because she expects to give birth to her child. Love will keep on keeping on because it is fueled by our hope and faith in God to deliver. Pun intended! Conversations Within ts 5/17/2012 (Jax)
